Hi LoraK,

I have only once given wormer and it was because of coughing. I did a top dress wormer that I bought from Agway-when I remember the name I'll let you know! We use two rows of fencing-the outside is a four foot cattle fence and about a foot inside we string up three rows of electric fence. Sometimes the pigs will run through an electric fence so it's good to have a back-up! They are VERY hard to catch once loose when they aren't familiar with you yet!
We use an unmedicated feed, no junk food! They get food all summer long from the garden.
Here is a pic of this year's pigs. I hope you can see how the fencing is set up.
