Pig pictures...

[ColoFarmer]

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.



Babies at about a month old



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...

Nothing like the smell of a full pit on a hot summer day. Thanks for sharing.

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