S1E80 Pigs 101: Why We Notch and Tag Ears and Cut Males

On this week's episode we talk pigs; ear notching, ear tagging and my LEAST favorite chore of all time. I share with you why we do what we do, I explain a little about the Universal Ear Notching System and I explain why we castrate males on our farm.

If you are up to castrating pigs yourself, these are the scalpels we use. https://amzn.to/3gAdfGJ
Do NOT buy the crappy ones that Tractor Supply sells. It's an utter waste of money and will make a sucky job even suckier!!

Enjoy this episode (as much as you can find enjoyment in talk of castration!!)
