BABY POT-BELLIED PIGS - PHOTO UPDATE

papa-pepper (80) in homesteading • 7 years ago

Here are a few more photos of the baby pot-bellied pigs.

We had ran out of a use for these pigs, since we will now be using a bulldozer to finish some of our projects, but, because our female was pregnant, we decided to wait until after she gave birth to get rid of these. Since she was already pregnant we thought it would be best to wait to see the little ones born first. Truthfully, it was worth it!

It was really interesting to see these babies so soon after they were born. It was cool to see how much tinier they were than the other piglets that were born on our homestead. Of course, since the other ones were mostly "Large Black" pigs and these were from much shorter, and stouter, pot-bellied pigs, the reduced size in young makes sense. Anyway, I told you I would try to get some better photos for you to check out, so here they are! Enjoy!

BABY PIGLETS!!!

Until next time…

I grew up with pot-bellied pigs and we did absolutely everything together. They had a strange affinity for paper, and would tear it up and make spitballs. This was especially fun during Christmas, and that one time I had to bring a note to class stating that my pig had eaten my homework. You're a lucky man. Take good care of 'em for me ^.^

Pigs are not that dirty. And they're smart, strange little creatures. They just need love just like everybody else.

This kind of pigs are looking different from those ones i once reared here in Nigeria.

Pig business is a lucrative one in this part of nigeria i came from (south west). Less of stress and easy to take care.

I didn't understand this part. You were hooking them to the tractor? Ha ha ha. That's a picture I'd like to be able to Photoshop.

Hey @papa-pepper! I've started a program on Steemit where I am making trophies for the Steemians who most exemplify the community with their guidance and interaction. I chose the first 3 recipients and beyond that I ask that Steemians nominate others for the award. You were my first choice along with @robyneggs and a third party who's trophy I haven't finished yet. These trophies I create are a way for me to pay respect to the people who make Steemit a great online experience.
I posted you a download link on another post but I really didn't like the rotation of the trophy so I recreated it and am giving it to you for being such a positive influence in this community.

DOWNLOAD
I will be removing this image from my imgur as soon as my original post pays out. I hope that you will accept this on behalf of myself and other Steemians who have interacted with you here. Thank You.
The post I originally replied to was of sunsets a couple of days ago. There is an image there of the trophy but the .gif link is dismantled.
Congratulations on being the first Steemit Star.
If you would like to see the announcement post you can find it on my blog. Thanks again.

You need some nutty sounding names for the new piglets. How about "Pistachio", " Filbert" and "Macadamia"?

I wanted to have pot-bellied pig as my pet for many years, but no one liked this idea except me:) Now I have two kids of my own and dreams about pigs long gone. :)
