It's always nice to get an email and/or pictures of the ones you send off and worry about, isn't it? Congrats Boyd. Here is a link to an article of what happened when we had a piglet picked up in Pennsylvania on it's way to Pamler, AK that you may find amusing :)

Nice looking kids for sure! Luv the dark with the white belly band!

Our registered Large Black sow gave us 8 Majestic boars and 2 Warbler gilts on Christmas Day:) The boys will be for sale if anyone is interested. Website

A-D-O-R-A-B-L-E!!!!!

They appear from the picture to be done correctly. The ointment is most likely an antibiotic to prevent infection. They make antiseptic creams and/oro sprays for wounds to help ease any pain that she may be having or a burn cream, just not anything that has an anti-itch property...

We use a goat milking stand for the piglets to crawl under to get away from momma. It's metal and sturdy. BTW - we have a Large Black Hog sow names Princess Peggy:)

and congrats on the new little ones! Did you get to assist with the birth? Our Large Black Hogs are docile and the mamas enjoy my rubbing of their belly while they are in hard labor.

Pigs don't sweat, not sure if they shed. Never noticed ours shedding. Ours have had lice in the past and the only way I knew was that I saw the nits behind their ears, not the adults.

We start offering a pan of calf manna/creep feed which is milk based as early as 1 week for the piglets to nibble on, in an area that mama does not have access to. At 3-4 weeks we mix in the hog feed. Don't forget that if they are not on dirt they need to be supplemented with iron or throw a...

:welcome from South Central PA www.furimmerfarm.com home to Large Black Hogs, pygmy/nubian cross goats, kinder goats, and chickens.

Oh my! What a sweetie he is! Would they become more resistant to the bites after having so many or the opposite? Hope his leg gets all better soon.

Not positive here either. Although her belly does look very healthy:) The pooch/rear picture looks rather tight and triangular bud still so... time will tell. I had a girl develop a humongus udder last year that was NOT pregnant, imagine my suprise when she went into fullblown heat when I...

Hi how's the foal doing? Sorry you haven't gotten an answer yet. My sister-in-law says that horses pretty much take care of their own young without human assistance. I sure hope that's right since we are new to horses and ours is due any time now:) I don't think horses are a huge priority on...

:welcome :clap from Southcentral PA

We have nubians and as others have pointed out, they are very vocal and I have told neighbors that if they hear these weird noises coming from our farm... it is NOT humans but goats. We have a freshener that is giving us a gallon a day of nice rich milk. The only other goats we are milking are...

We rescued this mare and her colt last August. The old owner said she was 4 at the time, vet says she is 2.5 years old at the most and was suprised the year old colt was hers. Old owner can't remember exactly when he had the stallion in with her last Summer but that she's due in April or May...

:clap :clap Lovely kids!!

We have 4 foot woven with a strand of barb about 8 inches above. we have a little nanny that can clear the whole thing in one quick bound. The tensile was tried and didn't do a dang thing. We are currently working on redoing our entire goat fence with 4 foot woven and 2 lines of barb wire on...

Very nice looking goaties

I totally agree with above! With a single we usually have a lop-sided udder and if you don't milk and the kid prefers one side, the unused side will dry up. So take advantage of the extra while it's there for sure:)
