It sounds like ya are just getting "Hawg Wild" up there now.....

It really is @CntryBoy777

Emmy is so cranky with the babies. One of the boys came over to her while I was giving the gal some loving. Oh my goodness she whipped around so fast and nipped him and chased him off. I had been contemplating if she was in fact pregnant but now seeing that behavior along with her increasing belly size im sure.

Well Emmy may be farther along than I anticipated, I saw movement today!

Also we got news from the people who bought Circe. They got a companion for her so she isn't lonely which was my main concern as they only took one baby. They say she is a sweetheart which makes me so happy. Apparently their teenage daughter is in love with her. Im over the moon that she has such a good home!

You need a barrel and hog nipples. I never heard of them before until I read @Simpleterrier 's post. I copied his design and it is awesome!!

He posted on my last year's thread, pictures of his pig pen and set up. This is what inspired me to build the Pig Palace with automatic water and feeder. I was so sick and tired of over turned water and feed. This makes it SO easy now!

Progress pics of Emmy, I would say we have a few more weeks. Poor girl is so miserable and extra cuddly especially when the piglets are around. She cannot stand them.

She looks small from a distance but pictures dont do her justice.

Starting to get some udder development

I have a close eye on her and I plan on making a seperate area for her to farrow in. I think completely moving her into the barn from the other hogs would stress her out too much.

You take such good care of your pigs. You are tuned in enough to realize that totally separating her "for her own good" would not be good for her.

I appreciate your kind words. I can only imagine that being pregnant and miserable paired with being lonely isn't a good combination.

That is because you listen to your animals. Animals talk to you, but you have to listen in order to hear them.
