Next meeting Saturday June 2 @ 3:30 PM (Matt & Michelle's)

Hi all.   Keep working with your pigs and get them used to you being next to them.
At this meeting we will have a general meeting.  (Mainly to catch up on old business)

After the meeting we will do a workshop on training the pigs with a pig stick.  If you have become a friend to your pig then this should be relatively easy.  We will also try and have Mrs. Lague (aka Mary Emmons) down to make pig sticks.
