Priss's boyfriend is a handsome fellow, hope they fall in heat with one another quick! :love The little piggies are cute, do they know yet what a great home they have? Their new pig momma is the best!

The new pigs arrived a day early, which caught us a bit off guard but their new shelter is more than adequete to keep them sheltered from the elements. Priscilla was 100% confused when we unloaded the new pigs, however now she is very happy to have company. She is a bit of a meany to the babies but they have plenty of room to avoid one another. The boar, Randy, is super friendly compared to how Kev and Tub were he is an angel. He is very gentle with Priscilla as well as the babies. And guess what?! He covered Priss twice yesterday so cross your fingers that we will have babies in march! Also an interesting fact about mangalitsas, they are pregnant 3 months, 3 weeks, and 3 days on the dot. I mean I am sure that there is a bit of variation but both breeders we have talked to have confirmed this.

The shelter, we will be adding upper walls as well

Uh-Oh!!....you with more babies to look forward too?....sounds like a sure-fire recipe for building Excitement....and pics....:)
Glad the new ones have settled in and Priss has accepted them so soon....of course Randy's sweet talking may have helped that situation a bit. The shelter is looking just "Piggy".....:)
