Getting Lean
Sometimes you need to burn off a little extra fat. My most recent training partner and I have been working on this. After our September training camp I took advantage of a $59 Sun Country flight to Washington for my brother’s wedding. Pork is on the menu, we are down to one bag of food and the pig Chad and Alieta bought in the spring should feed about 140.

Pigs are intelligent animals and it is relatively easy to train them to walk, turn, and stop with a cane. Pork has a rather high fat content so taking a pig for a walk or run and leaning them up before they go to market can make a big difference. Back in high school when we raised pigs we spent a lot of time with them. This pig is a bit more wild, so taking it out for a run more or less meant letting it out and then trying to get her to go back in.
Back in high school, the Gregg kids had a little known talent for raising, fitting, showing and selling hogs.
These pigs gained about 200 pounds in 4 months (photo from June 1)
My sister and I gave the newlyweds a RolyPig Composter to help ease the loss of the real pig. These things are pretty cool. Check out the demonstration video athttp://www.RolyPig.com
