This year with the pigs and last year a fellow down the road who works as a deckhand during the summer traded his extra fish for our fresh eggs. We had some very nice seafood all summer long. There is no need in exchanging money with another when you both have what the other wants or needs. I think with where the US is headed we'll be doing a lot more bartering in the future. Squash, corn, beans and tomatoes anyone?Mamma Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10781533611079940480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-35141575986968234322013-04-22T15:46:24.243-05:002013-04-22T15:46:24.243-05:00Mamma Bear,

It's better than using cash I say :-)<br /><br />Can't wait to see little piglet pictures soon! All this talk about bacon, sausage, ham, pork chops is making me hungry.

I'm just not into all the work breeding/farrowing, work, etc. Six months is about all I can handle with pigs.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978488915630500345.post-61009259434198165652013-04-22T09:31:34.754-05:002013-04-22T09:31:34.754-05:00Thanks Kelly...I can't wait for little piggies...Thanks Kelly...I can't wait for little piggies!<br /><br />My spotted girl has had 4 kids so far and none of them have spots like her.
