Our neighbor was the one who got us into raising pigs. He actually called one day to ask if we could keep a couple of piglets for us until they got big enough to go with his bigger Tamworth pigs. Of course we said yes, and they've been with us ever since. Over time we agreed that we would share the cost of feed and care of the animals, so together we are raising pigs.
Penny, just gave birth to 8 little piglets. Here they are on day 3.
Now they are a few weeks old
Five of the eight piglets were male. If you want to eat the meat of a pig, the males need to be castrated. So Bob watched a youtube video (is there anything you can't find on youtube??) and we went to work. I will spare you the video, but here's a picture of the little guy before the trama.
Never would have thought I would have helped to castrate a piglet!!!
