Hello. Hobby farmer here in MN. We have raised pastured pigs before, I love it. I have the opportunity to buy 2 pure bred Mangalitsa 125# gilts. They both have rings in their nose. I want them to root and forage and I already have fields planted with forage crops. The seller said they can be removed. Is there any risk of infection or damage after removing the nose rings? Thanks!

Hello, my family has a small flock of Shetland/Finn ewes with a BFL ram. The resulting lambs being F1 mules. This is the first year with the BFL ram. Normally the Shetlands we butcher are VERY lean and small due to genetics and being strictly pastured, no grain. I wanted to fatten them with corn that I grew myself. I know sheep can eat field corn, but can they eat Indian flint corn? I grew a lot last year to use as flour, and I wanted to plant a quarter acre of it to fatten up some sheep we’ll be eating. Thanks!
