I’ve been considering how and when to discuss some adjustments coming to our farm. As lots of you understand, we elevate hogs. We’re a small part-owner of a sow farm about 20 miles away. This sow farm is the place our newly weaned pigs come from. Possession made sense to us as we knew precisely the place are pigs have been coming from, and the way they have been cared for previous to coming to our farm. We knew well being standing, which vaccinations got, and many others.
However . . the sow farm is shutting down–all of a sudden. Why? A few the opposite homeowners sought after out and because of a weak point in this sort of industry fashion, they’d a majority affect over the remainder of the homeowners. We had no selection. Remaining week, our ultimate staff of pigs from have been delivered from the sow farm.
We by no means idea this was once the way it was once going to finish.
We idea the tip would come once we have been able for it to finish.
I should admit, I’m having some reservations about how briskly the sow farm is shutting down. It makes me unhappy with emotions of defeat.
Does this imply we’re finished with elevating hogs? No. However our long run is unclear. Our plan is to seem into different choices.
I do know on the finish of the day, we will be able to glance again and say all became out for the easier. I do know that as a result of God’s promise to us.
Even with God’s promise, it’s nonetheless a painful and worrisome procedure to move thru.
