Pig pictures...
Probably something most in here haven't seen much, so here's a few pictures of raising pigs... Hope nobody minds me posting these here...
Babies, just after being born.

Boar and the girls before cleaning their pen on Friday. In the background are the babies in the above pictures, now 3 months old.

Pens after cleaning. Hole in the middle is to get to a water line that is leaking... PITA!!!

Pumping out the manure pits. Truck is a 56 F600, about 38,000 original miles, has hauled manure on this place since the early 70's. I bought it from the neighbor when we bought this place, he bought it from our house's original owner...

This is the farrowing room. Very well insulated, stays about 45-55 degrees with pigs in it without a heater, even at -10 outside. Cleaned up and ready for next litter. I do need to modify my panels a bit, bottom rail spacing is too big, babies can climb out... Have more babies expected in about a month.

The "babies" will be going to butcher in April, just over 6 months old. Anybody interested, have a posting in the "other sales" classification...

Green Chili on the hoof. Like a hippopotamus cute but deadly and smart.
