All the Piglets

Well, three sows have had their babies, the last one coming up to bat with fifteen!! Unfortunately, not all of the babies made it.  I'm told that is normal, but it is still a hard thing to get accustomed to.

Anyway, it was pretty cool to see some of the piglets be born! Daniel, Leanna and I watched the birthing of some of the last piglets from the litter of fifteen. I was amazed just watching the whole process. One minute the babies are getting all that they need for life exclusively from their mother before birth.  The next minute they are using lungs that have never known air before. It's just a miracle!

It has been fun to see them grow and it happens fast! You watch them bite and tumble around with each other and then if mama lays down......"drop everything and run, because it is meal time!"

too cute!!!
