6/ This is on the heavy side. Normal? No. Normal for me? Sadly, yes. I bought piglets from local farm store the one day of the year they're offered: 20 May.

9/ This is obviously not a way to save money; it's a way to enjoy the hobby of farm LARPing and a way to opt out of the world of terrible factory farming.

Replying to @brainfertilizer
yes, all of those would work however, all of those would take time N.B. I already grow pumpkins to feed to the pigs. That makes up 2-5% of their diet (treats)
