Chillin' with the herd
We found a breeder near us that had 9 piglets that had just been weaned.
They were great and ready for new homes.
So we were invited to come out and take a look.
Oh my was I really in for a surpise! 1 was the size of meat hogs! 2 was it was all set up for us to get one or two.
Hubby knew I would pick out some I liked.
I thought they only got as big as the ones at the 4h fairs.
They get huge! I learned so much I forgot some of it and forgot to ask something's .
So after meeting all the breeders we are taken to the piglets. Right away I pick out three girls that I liked the looks of.
The runt was my fav! Then I could not pick between the other two.
I asked my hubby and son what they thought mums the word I got from them!
Should have been my clue!
so as she told us about the piglets who was the mom and all that.
I put my hand down and here comes running the runt and one of the ones I had picked. Best way to say it is she is marked like a medicine cap paint. They both touched their noses to my hand and snorted. What got me was the eye contact. I knew they are said to be smart but I found out that to be true today.
Every time I put my hand down those two came to me. So much to my hubby's delight I got picked by the pigs and it happen to be the ones I liked.
so he told here those are the two! :bun
I took a picture tonight when I went out to check them. They were curled up beside each other in the feeder dish.
So cute!
who would have thought I would take to pigs so fast!? 
Now just to remember these are for meat...
Will post pictures later.
