Loving the herd life
I went out to feed the pigs a little late yesterday evening and only two pigs came to greet me. I found curly dead under is favourite tree...my dad was in the pen hours earlier and he was up and rooting. I am guessing that it was heat exhaustion as they dumped their waterer AGAIN and although I left the hose on it had gotten kinked and was not flowing. So sad and expensive to lose a beautiful big pig a month before butchering.
Just a reminder to everyone to be VERY vigalent in checking that everyone has water in extreme heat...we are having a heat wave at 40+C and there is very little tolerance at these temperatures. So sad to lose an animal for something so preventable...
