  • Wonderful Resource

    Preparing to raise a couple of pigs in my 1/4 acre city backyard that’s overrun with crabgrass. I’ve been binge listening and taking notes and have learned a lot in a short period of time. Great interview style and very approachable. Would love an interview with someone raising mulefoots. Thank you!!
