Vickie Barrow S Potbellied Pigs: SOW SLAUGHTER UP, HOG SLAUGHTER DOWN, PRICES UP
Federally Inspected (FI) hog slaughter posted a year-to-year decline in April. On a monthly basis, that was the first year-to-year decline since November 2002. FI hog slaughter continued to be below the year prior in May. In recent weeks, FI sow slaughter has been running just slightly above a year ago, still, relative to the breeding hog inventory reported by USDA-NASS in the quarterly Hogs and Pigs report for May 1, 2003, the slaughter level indicated liquidation of sows but at a rate that is not as high as intended to occur earlier this year. Slaughter barrow and gilt prices in May were the strongest posted since 2001.

General Info About Guinea Pigs
Guinea pig (or Cavy) are widely considered to be wonderful pets for children and adults. They are somewhat less delicate then hamsters and gerbils, while still being relatively easy to care for. (If you DO adopt a cavy for your child, make sure that YOU are willing to take primary responsibility for it). You can purchase guinea pigs from retail outlets that sell small animals (pet stores or pet shops), but it is usually preferrable to adopt abandoned animals from guinea pig rescue organizations. Besides the fact that piggies usually get better care at shelters (and their owners a better education) there are literally thousands of sweet guinea pigs who need homes, and can be had with very little charge.
