Saturday we picked up our piglet for this year. Have had a hard time getting good piglets, dropped from 2 down to 1 since we started raising rabbits. Last year we talked to the guy who hauls our pigs in the fall and he found us a piglet that did well so we went through him again this year. This piglet is very easy going so I call her Placid. She didn't squeal on the ride home. She comes right out to see what we've brought her when we go to feed. She finishes up any milk or whey very promptly, then comes over to the fence and "talks" to me--don't know if she's expressing gratitude or asking for more
Yesterday Barley had two kids between when we checked on her just after lunch and got back to check again at 2. One buckling, one doeling. We're glad she kidded on a warm sunny day instead of waiting for one of the wet days (which we need for the garden) coming up.
