Beasts of Burden
Q/A Wondering: Home more and acreage aplenty, so wouldn’t it be fun to bring in some pigs and chickens?
While we admire the impulse to set up the Southern homestead circa 1925, with the chickens out back and the hogs quartered in Great-granddaddy’s barn, could you please prune your vision of agrarian bliss to one species? Farming’s most deceptive axiom is that any animal you allegedly “own” married to each and every one of ’em, and you’re in it for better and for worse.
