Our daughter and son-in-law who had the pig Miss Peggy also have 3 steers they are raising for home slaughter. Their names are Porterhouse, T-Bone and Rump, just so they don't get too attached to them in the meanwhile :-)Jofeathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10290597697140624780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-17410704111543821192015-07-17T15:48:02.143-04:002015-07-17T15:48:02.143-04:00Really!
