Starting pups

My thoughts on that....more control. I don't use a cage...just a bay pen....but with very small shoats. I make it impossible for the pup to get wrecked the first few times I put them on a pig. It will set them back bad if they get wrecked.

T-Bob, I just think it really gets the pups hog crazy at an early age when you start them at like 12-16 weeks. If nothing else it just gives me something to do that I enjoy and a little interaction/bonding time with the pups. One thing I do know, for a FACT, it doesn't hurt the pups. I've always done it this way and never had any issues, lol.

But..you know...to each his own. Whatever works.
