Wallows

There are many fulfilling parts to working at Ironwood. I especially find filling and cleaning the wallows a fulfilling part of this job. While filling up the wallows with water some of the pigs come over and wait, or if they just can't wait they get right in so I can spray them with the hose. Not all pigs like this but they'll let you know. It's really great to see a pig enjoy a wallow you just filled. Immediately seeing the purpose of what I've just done is awesome. Wallows help keep the pigs cool and their skin protected. We fill all of the wallows daily here and are sure to rake them and keep them as clean as we can.
