Yesterday we had another litter of piglets born!
We knew that she was pregnant, but didn't know when she would give birth! Yesterday, while Monster Truck the Pepper and I were doing some chores on the land, we noticed something. Here is the video footage of us first checking out these piglets.
SEVEN MORE PIGLETS!
There is something every exciting about having an animal successfully birth the next generation. We never grow tired of it.
These cute little piglets were born outside on a beautiful day, which can be rare enough these days. They were not in some dark concrete pen. However, we still needed to get them into an area where they would be safer, and where they could not escape from.
Monster Truck the Pepper helped me move them over to their home. It was very nice to see my young man enjoying these new creatures. I'm glad that my children can experience things like this.
Before too long they were all hard at work figuring out how to drink mama's milk. It is amazing to me to see how quickly the little piglets can be up and running around, and that they know right where to go for a meal. Just as it was designed, the milk shows up at the right time too!
Here you can see how little the seven new piglets are when compared to the nine that were born before. They live next door to one another, and will eventually probably be playmates. It was a super-happy day for us, and we are so blessed to be able to enjoy these animals.
Did you know that both the mama pig and the papa pig were purchased with earnings from steemit? Check out the post on that from last year here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@papa-pepper/breaking-news-is-steemit-starting-to-buy-the-farm-papa-pepper-investigates
HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?
It is amazing to reflect back on these pigs. I can't believe that it has been over a year already! Here is a photo of the mama pig just a year ago! She has the lighter colored stripe. They grow up so quickly...
It's amazing how time flies, and what steemit can do! We now have even more second generation STEEM-POWERED PIGGIES!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Wow

Monster pepper seems to like the pink one... Very good video showing next generation of the pigs thru their new born... Hope they are kept in a closed area for safety from the elements. Tks for sharing

Adorable piglets, and a profitable litter! Really enjoy the fact that this is a Steem-backed venture...
How long before the piglets reach full size and what will you do with them, eventually? Do you butcher them for yourselves or perhaps they will be sold?
Upvoted and am now following you. Thanks again, and wishing you continued good luck on Steem!

Oink-oink! Sooo sweat piggies! I think they have a good place at your farm, instead of industrial pork-factories. Although I am a vegetarian and I am confident that they are more of our friends than food, I accept that people eat homestead meat, of course, with moderation.
Have you heard about the Hungarian Mangalitsa? This is an old pig breed with more fat than meat. It was almost extinct, but mowadays we can find them in more and more homestead farms. It grows huge, about 200 kilograms, and can be rather dangerous for its owner as well. In Hungary, tere's a great tradition of porking (I hate it, every man is drunk already, early in the morning). I remember from my childhood,
I will never forget, when I woke up early morning, hearing a terrible cry of the pig from our neighborhood.

Since I was a little boy I wanted a piglet as a pet. One day a family member brought home a little Musk hog (I called it a piglet wannabe).
Me thinking finally...but then they gave me the rules which I had to follow in order to be able to keep him as a pet. Sadly I had to let him go.
Do you by any chance know someone who tried to keep a musk hog as a pet?

@papa-pepper Well, it's a mini version of Timon's best friend Pumbaa LOL.....
Pumbaa is a warthog and the Musk Hog I'm talking about is probably to you better known as a Peccary (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peccary).
My first time hunting them was like a nightmare out of a -A- class hollywood horror /thriller/ drama/ comedy flick. Never again....that I promised my self.
I rather join Kevin Richardson and his lions..much less dangerous :)

Very interesting that the variety in their coat patters comes out in pairs, well accept for the extra black one...
I wonder what cause that to happen. I would have expected them to have more variation.
How do you tell them apart lol? Personalities I guess? Oone is a little rambunctious, the other one more skiddish etc.

Ive never had pigs. Often thought of it but I've a friend who keeps them, and everytime I feel tempted I visit his. I can feed them and watch them play which satisfies my immediate needs. Also seeing all the wrecked fences and general havoc they've caused is an added incentive to NOT need any of my own!
