We have babies!

Momma pig delivered 7 great looking, well above average in intelligence, babies this morning.  Our dog is keeping guard just outside the pen.  

I don't think you're aloud to make a post like that without including some piglet pictures. Please!

Yes, I am giving momma time to destress.   The dog and I are allowed to visit….just not too long.  So, pictures tomorrow.

Speaking of visitors, I went to check on momma this evening…a few minutes ago.  Reno, the boar, had busted  out and was laying pressed up against the closed door to the barn.  I opened the door so he could check on his lady love. Then he politely followed me back to his pen.  Between the dog ( German Shepherd/Border Collie mix), who dearly loves her pigs, and Reno, God help anything who try’s to harm Sassafras or her babies.  And, I have already seen what Sassafras can do to a Raccoon.


Oh yes, Reno…..he ripped through a woven wire fence, tore a pallet to shreds, tossed a roofing panel aside, and entered the adjoining pen.  Then he ripped the steel gate off of that pen so he could stroll to the barn. I have some work to do tomorrow.  Normally he is the most gentle soul on earth.
