I would not want that grocery bill! Good Luck I am sure you can give them a good home.

michaelman25 · 11-17-04, 05:01 PM

what do you feed them at such a young age

BellyDraggers · 11-17-04, 05:03 PM

CB Shwa - Thats why we live on the farm and can raise up all our own food...I would hate to have to think of what it would cost to buy all our food supplies that we would need...LOL I will have to try and calculate what it would cost us for a single feeding of all our animals.
