well the pigs made it through the first night okay

So I spent yesterday patching up the pig pen and moved them out of the barn last night

So I moved them into the pen, surprised the neighbors didn't call the cops, that ones a screamer

So I checked on them this morning, they seem pretty happy, and no escapes, bonus!

Awesome I have a escape artist, went down to feed and water, looked over the pen and saw 2, saw movement to my left and looked over and the smallest one was sitting there smiling at me, looks like the electric fence is going in today!

Man those are cute piggies! Are all 3 for the freezer or are you going into breeding? I need to go back and read the whole thread again, I can't even remember what breed they are. I'm loving that little darker spotted one! My gilt that I 'thought' was just bred turned out to be further along. I sent pics of her to her breeder and she says by her size and shape she guesses due in August. Blacks don't get their milk bar until 10 days or so before they farrow so just having to watch.

all for the freezer, the big one is a black/berkshire cross and the little ones are berkshire/hereford/wattle cross I believe, I need to get down there and spend more time with them, been so busy
