These are some of our May piglets…they are about 90 lbs. now.
Not much time for writing lately but I have been finding time to take photos. A couple of our sows have had piglets in the last two weeks. We usually make each sow a small private pen until the piglets are ready to be weaned at around six weeks old. This time, we put six huts in a fenced-in area with trees, grass, and plenty of room to roam. These are all first-timers so we were very curious to see how they’d do. So far, so good.
Spring piglets.
I took a LOT of pictures.

Seriously. The light was so beautiful tonight.
Sigh.
Even the not-ready-for-prime-time part of the barnyard looks nice in the evening light.
