This Little Piggy
It's been awhile since I gave a pig update. The little buggers are doing great! We don't have an ideal setup for raising pigs. They have this area outside plus 2 stalls inside to run in and out of. Their water is located in one stall which happens to also have a drainage problem. It's a muddy mess in there but somehow these guys stay unbelievably clean.
Today I took them a treat of eggs and fresh asparagus trimmings. I only have room for about 2 weeks worth of eggs in my refrigerator. After that any that aren't sold go to the pigs. They're so funny eating eggs - they will crack one open and then slurp out the insides.
I grew up on a hog farm, but had forgotten how much fun pigs can be until we got these!

and what beautiful, clean piggies they are!
These are really clean piggies! What breed are they? There are tons of hog farms around here. I remember reading about a farmer in Poland that fed his pigs leftover cookies from the local cookie bakery. Can you imagine???
