She’s sooo cute...looks big! No wonder you were uncomfortable!
As for my morning today...our weather here in McKean county PA...getting 6-8”. I had sooo many last minute things to do 35 miles away today. Guess that’s not happening.. guessing Chris will be plowing all day for our tenants. Yesterday he had to have 5 cars towed out of our alley, for the movie theater par...it’s converted into appartments. He’s been warning this guy for months. We gave him written warnings, etc. So, yesterday he called the truck. The guy came out finally and said, cool...now I won’t have to be bothered by you anymore, because I don’t want them! Chris and I were like..what a dummy...you can turn them in for scrap and get about $300! Ok, that’s my rant...have a great one..:)

If you can’t calm the dog down, pen her up. Those pigs represent a lot of freezer meat to feed your family. Worm them, feed them, slaughter and put in the freezer. If the little pigs are half feral, they probably won’t get very big, so keep them long enough to put a little finish on them. If you are feeding corn, sour it. Get a half dozen buckets, put enough corn in for one feeding, cover with water. Take a gallon of milk and split between the buckets. Let them sit 3 days. Feed morning and evening, refill each bucket when you feed them. Pour some of the sour water in the new bucket to get the process started quicker. If there is corn left in their tub, skip a feeding.

To worm them, get apple flavored ivermectin horse wormer at TSC. Cut crust off a slice of bread, put some wormer on the bread, fold in half and mash the edges together, making a wormer pillow. Toss over the fence to each pig. To condition them to the bread, toss them bread for several days before worming. You can also toss them hard boiled eggs for a treat, the sow will love them.

If the sow is pregnant, she has brought you a gift. She, herself, is a gift. Merry Christmas!
