Well as you see in the first photo they are all sound asleep in the sunbeam at 10 am.
Photo #2  shows the contented baby's waking up...
Photo #3 shows where they are  headed next...

Now the question remains what have the piggy's been doing...

Not why are the piggys sleeping since its obvious that they are not eating... yet.

Well a stroll out to the rotational pens shows me exactly what the  piggy's  have been up too!!!
Man!!!  What shitty renters , they've trashed the place  
Obviously walking to the far end, to use the gate access was too much effort for the poor dears...
Why go around when you can just walk thru the fence!

Now for those of you that have rental's, you know how long you have to put up with shitty renters before you can get them out!

I am not even going to yell at the little oinker's...
I'll repair the fence (in their defense it was old).
I'll keep the grain bin full and the cold clean water flowing.
I'll leave their mud bath just how they like it...
I'll bring them all the organic garden scrap and our compost bin...
Boy they will be living the high life...

And in mid October I'll take them to meet my buddy the butcher....
When they ride home in the back of the subaru in little white packages...
They will be good piggy's then!

They were just showing you where your fence sucked. :D

Mine found out that half of my electric fence was disabled and within a couple of days I had to rewire half of my pasture, including replacing insulators and filling hole they started on near the farm fence behind it. They are unforgiving escape artists.

We had a pretty pink pig for our daughter's 4H Project.

That pretty pink pig cleaned its house every day.

It began with taking the hay out of the house then rooting around (looked like cleaning) then putting the hay back in.

I guess after that project the pig just laid around in the sun for the rest of the day.  That was a long time ago ...
