Today I finally got around to helping my neighbor with his pigs again.
Since he's still new at it and since I used to raise pigs, he wanted my semi-expert assistance. Thankfully, the little female piglet that was previously having an issue has healed up. The mother and her four piglets all seem to be doing well, and the neighbors are enjoying having them on their homestead. Today I tried to teach the neighbor about a few things pertaining to the young male piglet, but the guy didn't really have the stomach for it, so I guess it is good that I was there. After the "help," I spent a while taking some photos too, so I could share their progress with all of you. I'll include some of the earlier photos for size comparison. Enjoy!
SOME "BEFORE" PHOTOS FROM LAST TIME
These photos were taken about four weeks ago. These are from just after the piglets were born, within about 48 hours of birth.
THE PHOTOS FROM TODAY
Compared to a month ago, you can see that these little piggies are growing very well! Also, their mama is really fat too! LOL!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

They are getting larger. I wanted to let you know to beware. There is a scam going on in steemit and I fell victim to it. I wrote about it in my blog yesterday. They wiped out 663.843 of my SBD and traced it to three locations mostly Romania. Be wary. Blessings - Troy PS My upvote was trashed too because they exceeded the bandwidth or else I would upvote.

I bet you aren't that little pigs best friend after your visit today.
If he knew what effect your visit would have you had better be careful when he grows up.
Here, for lambs, the younger, sharp-toothed blokes do the job with their teeth, something to think of for your future.
The ones that slide down the throat are called 'Prairie Oysters' and after a days work save going to the cookhouse for tea.

pig farming is profitable because they are highly prolific u have made me to remember back in the days where I did my training I was opportuned towork in pigery department where I particpated in castration process, its a very ugly sight but if u want them to grow big in no time castration is recommended we also did some vaccinations on piglets, u castrate wen dey re piglets when they are 2 weeks old because since they are tender u can hold them nd it wont be more painful since they are tender is a lovely experience. @paper-pepper

Most of the pigs are corralled here but the piglets run free. Those little buggers race through my place. The only reason I have a fence is to keep animals from coming in the place and eating the good stuff! And to keep our own livestock in!
Chicken, goats and cows. I am even toying around getting a water buffalo.
I was waiting for you to show the part your neighbor didn’t have the stomach for!

Are you in anyway from Nigeria ? Dont let that discourage you as there is ready made available market for pigs. I keep goats but have general knowledge of the market.
The only little challenge is that not all religion eat pork. If you're really interested, send me message through steemchat, I will be glad to help.
