Any of you who work with animals know that they wait to have the youngins' on the worst weather days, this pig is no exception, it's cool and rainy this morning and what do we wake up to, 9 new piglets! If you saw my last update just three days ago I mentioned that I thought she was real close, looks like I was right!
This was a first for us , as far as pigs go, and she seemed to work faster than the goats do, I mean one push and a pig was born! Goats seem to drag it on forever! But overall I think it went pretty well, the final count so far is three brown and six pinkies, and they are cute. Momma and babies look like they are doing well!
I am amazed how fast they are up and walking looking for the milk, and the momma doesn't do anything to help them, they find it all on they're own... just amazing!
Here is the last born, fresh out and still messy, but in about a minute he was up and had crawled to the belly and started nursing! I'll say it again, Amazing!
Hope you enjoyed the The pix, I'll try to get a video up too, nothing to graphic lol!!
Update!
Another one born for a total of 10 piglets!!
