Pigs need protein to gain the lbs. We feed them outdated dairy products and veggies that we collect from local convenience stores to minimize our feed costs. Feed, whether it is GMO free or just your average grower variety, gets spendy.
The other day Hubby Dearest took over pig chore duties for the evening. While he was attempting to lean over the fence to pour the milk into their tray he lost balance and high-centered on the hog panel. He was flailing for many minutes trying to get vertical. Apparently the ground wasn’t close enough so he used a pig (who was coming to investigate the milk) to push upright.

While he was taking one for team and doing nightly chores, I was inside- completely oblivious to his misadventure- consoling a very cranky Baby Q by rapping a pig-centric version of Sir Mixalot’s “I Like Big Butts.”

My version: “I Like Pig Butts”

I like pig butts and I can not lie
You meat eaters can’t deny
When rump roast wafts up in my face
And it’s salted just to taste
I get hung – ry
Want to feed you up
So that butt gets plumped
Pasture grazed pork fairing
I’m hooked and I can’t stop staring
Oh piglets I’ll jump in with ya
And take some pictures
I’ll get my oven warming
Because that butt you got makes me so hungry
Oh those markings are akin
To a duroc Hampshire cross
Well keep eating, eating, you ain’t a light weight piggy
I’ve seen you grazing
Pastured hog raising
You’re heat, meat, keep growing fatter please

So farmers YEAH farmers YEAH
Has your piggy got a butt?
HELL YEAH
Well give them milk
And veggie scraps
Even vegetarians gotta shout
Piggy got back

My butcher don’t want none unless they’re market weight son
Piggy got back

Baby Q was thrilled with my performance. She even giggled throughout the encore for Hubby Dearest. He was not nearly as impressed.
