Doing well. Getting ready to run to town and pickup some pig formula, Sow had her litter and rejected the babies.

Oh. No. Now what do you do?

We’re fixing up the patio this weekend

This was how the patio looked last summer.

Was a warm enough day today
I finally got mowing the lawn.

My hubby used to work on a pig farm. I'm not even going to go there.

Well the plan was simple. Pick up two 7 month old pigs cheap from the petting zoo. One boy (fixed, or so they said) and one girl. Grow them for a year, learn as we go and then have them processed. Plan went great for 10 months. They started figuring ways to breakout of their pen. Problem solved, hot wires inside the fence. Then a couple weeks before they were going to the processor, three piglets arrived. I couldn't process mom before she weaned the piglets so we put it off. It all went down hill from there.

Oh. No. Now what do you do?

Just picked up Colostrum and some universal formula and we'll continue syringe feeding.

So cute and funny ... if they would just sit quietly and eat it.. no one would notice... but instead they take off running and give themselves away

I think I need one

I need more experience! They started off easy enough, but then it got complicated.

Your doing a great job love! Good piglet daddy.
