Learning to raise livestock involves not only many lessons in animal husbandry, but also learning a new language.  While my husband has been farming for many years, I am still relatively new to the farming way of life.

I recently started researching cattle and pig breeds, wanting to add something new to our farm.  Gilt, barrow, farrow, and freshen.  Hog or Pig? Heifer or Cow?  Hmm.  I better do some more reading.
