I’m going to blog about this because I’m frustrated. I received an email this morning in an almost threatening tone about our pigs. I say threatening because they blocked my emails from getting to them! So they didn’t give me a chance to respond.
Our pigs are ALL finished off on pasture period. Yes, since our large blacks JUST gave birth for the 1st time our pork hasn’t been born here and I am completely open with that. We had 7 piglets and hope next year to get more.
The last pigs we got were commercial hogs – weighing in at 175-200 pounds. They come here and burn off 10-20 pounds pretty fast with all the running they do then they start to gain weight. They are NEVER taken from the place we get them straight down to the butcher! I don’t agree with that practice and it’s not what I sell PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!
I guess what bugs me is that this person apparently talked to the person who raised these hogs up (that takes research) and even found out the weights of the pigs. Then sends me an email asking about it – yet blocks me from responding. Give me a break and grow up! Plain and simple.
If you have an honest question – email it, call, whatever and then let me respond. I don’t have anything to hide (or else why would I open my farm up to so many people so many times per year?!)
Ok that’s my quick 2 second rant for this morning. I’ll write a positive email right after this because honestly this one just pushed a button when I couldn’t respond and I needed to get it out. Poor Joe will have to listen to me in a few minutes as well.
