By George Moving Right Along With The Spring Season

The Mangalitsa pigs are very happy up at Fountain Prairie. We are starting to plan our first
dinner with a Berkshire Mangalitsa cross in October.
Please check out this VIDEO of the pig eating The Madison Club's organic waste.


About a week ago we had a tremendous amount of rain in two days. The Mangalitsa pig pen started to turn into a mud bath. I do not think the pigs minded for the brief moment. With all of the rain, it was time to build onto the pig pen. I have never had the pleasure of building a pig pen let alone any type of farm animal structure. John Prisky of Fountain Prairie Farms was kind enough to help me build a new pen. After learning how to drive posts, set fence, and a couple of hours, our pigs had a nice new dry area to root and play.
