How to feed your pigs for almost $0.00 !

Grinding your own field corn seems like a good way to save money but I think I would find a way to run the corn sheller mechanically as turning it seems like a lot of hard and unnecessary work.

Over the Independence Day Weekend, swimming in the Moose River I was listening to this podcast by Cody Creelman, Cow Vet: #18- Branding Time!!! - Calfhood vaccination, castration, implanting, and deworming strategies, and think that this is a good follow up to this video. Definately think about subscribing to Cody Creelman's podcast -- because even if you not intimately involved in the agriculture industry, his podcasts are very interesting.
