In this episode, we chat about the time of year to harvest pigs, the Mangalitza pig breed, our longhorn escapade, fast vs. slow stitch animals, and extraneous livestock.

Spots are limited to just eight students so as to keep the hands-on experience undiluted. Jump on this chance and sign up today! https://backwaterfoiegras.com/foiegrasclass
