I was successful in giving my hog his antibiotics.   It was exciting.  Is there a better way to give shots to pigs?

At my age, Happy Hour is a nap.

I would think a squeeze shoot (sized for a pig) would help for both activities. we have an old pig scales which would probably do the job. they are very cheap to pick up second hand round here especially if they don't weigh correctly.

Hi Scandi

That is where my mind was going.

Thomas,

They have made it pretty clear they think I am a pervert.

At least they'll know what to expect, then!😂

Jordan,

I have no doubts they are expecting it. They told me they are peace loving pigs .... but they have their limits.

I'd appreciate it if you pronounced my name correctly. Pinhead, with a silent "H". Petite ad:
