at 200kg she is a lot of adobo!

I had visions of butchering her in the farrowing pen last night.

well at least she is producing milk. Nursing babies brings on contractions so good for her too but, wonder why the dead babies etc. Maybe an infection during her pregnancy ??? I'm glad I'm not whelping puppies anymore, I used to end up hysterical and crying at every one that was dying or dead.

Oz, good to hear she's doing well. Those three piggies are going to get a lot of milk.

despite a rough night and 2 hours of sleep, seeing my kids tonight has kept me motivated.

this morning we changed the tire on the wheelbarrow. its a home made job with a motor bike wheel. pictures to follow next week

then we cut pipe and welded the monkey bars. we had to modify a wall on the playhouse which cut into our day. but its installed and just needs concrete around the posts. I wish I was ¼ the age and weight.

the pigs are doing well.

Bernie got some sleep

Dodong is a definite keeper.

my fantastic children are home for the holidays. the nannies will go home tomorrow and report back Christmas night. five full days of being dad.

the kids love the bars. they are having a hard time waiting to try them out.

it's a breezy night so no ac tonight.

Oh how they grow up, frequenting bars already.

What did the piglets weigh?

Hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
