Got pigs!--Hiding this morning :D

[Farmer Kitty]

Thank you.

The people we got them from originally started breeding them for the fair so, hopefully they will grow really nice.

Looked in the pen this morning and there were no piggies. They were hiding under their hay--I had seen the hay move as I walked down there so I knew they were there.

I want a piggy !!!!! There adorable !!! My parents where divorced when I was very young and my dad had a Pig Farm I remember visiting him for the summer and begging him not to kill the runts....he named all his sows after his old girlfriends... Pigs are really smart.....he had one that would come running to him whenever he whistled a certain way.....I want a piggy !!!Congrats !!!

I just called the meat processing plant and scheduled them in. The plant we use books months in advance but, they are good.

Not the last time I was out to look at them. They did hit the water though. The feed is a bit different than they are used to. DH brought home a pelleted feed for them for now and they were on a ground feed before, I believe.

EXTRAS? We have 2 gilts. No babies with them.

We are not setup to farrow out pigs. It will be enough of a stretch to keep these two until butcher time. They are in part of the heifer barn and this winter the heifers will be let in and somehow we will have to put up a partition so that I can get in there to feed them.
