    Educate Before A Pig Steals Your Heart
    Pigs are unique animals. Of course they have beautiful qualities, that’s what makes them irresistible! However, there will be challenges and those are who prepared will successfully overcome. Autumn prepares like nobody else! She digs right into typical pig behavior, physical and emotional needs of your pig and how to set your pig up for success. A pig might not be for you but you will never know if the facts are avoided or obscured. Autumn lays it all out there, because she loves pigs and is driven by a desire for all pig/human relationships to succeed. In my opinion, her podcast is a must! Learn from her, you wont be disappointed or left in the dark ever.

If you have followed Autumn for some time she is the best and most motivated person I have ever met she is determined to get proper pig education out there and this podcast is doing just that! I can’t wait for more episodes!!

  • Whitacre homestead
    Great podcast!
    Probably the best person l know!
  • Disneytrip
    Loved it!! And I don’t even have pigs!
    First of all, Autumn has the best voice to listen to, very smooth and easy to listen. But then, her love for pigs comes through and it just gets better. I learned so much and I don’t own a pig. But it was info that could be applied to other pets and made me want to own pig as soon as possible. It was also obvious that Autumn missed her calling as a teacher. So if you own a pig, want a pig, love pigs or just love learning, this podcast is great!
  • BlondieSugar
