Loving the herd life
We got Gert butchered and into coolers/refrigerators. Between trying to get the piglets to eat milk replace and nursing/holding our 8 week old; we didn’t get any of the final cutting done, but at least it’ll keep while we work on it the next couple days.
The piglets are refusing to eat. They were nursing on Gert before we killed her around 10 but since then we’ve only got a few of them to take a couple swallows each of milk replacer. We’ve tried both a bottle and shoving their nose into a shallow pan of milk. I doubt they can go too long without eating, so we’re praying they figure it out soon.
