The Piglets Have Arrived
June 23, 2009 By
We got the call first thing this morning that are piglets were ready to come to their new home. After finishing up a few touches on the “baby pig pen”, we set off to Tamworth to pick up the piglets. We bought them from Remick Farm.
After a few stops, we arrived at Remick to pick them up. We wanted them to be the last “errand” we did.
Wayne helped us capture two, and put them in the box in our car. The box was lined with hay, and we stuck a bowl of food in their just in case they got hungry. It is also important for them to realize that seeing us=them getting food.
They are now home, in the baby pig pen for a few days until we get the electric fence all charged up.
Our New Piglets
May 18, 2009 By
We went over to the Remick Museum this morning to pay the deposit on our piglets. They had several litters from 6 weeks old, down to our batch which is only one week old. We will be picking them up in about a month. They were so cute and small, it is hard to believe that they will be close to 200 pounds in 6 months.
The brown one facing the camera, and the one in the background hiding are the ones we picked out. They are Tamworth X pigs.
