Kids~N~Pigs

As you can see, the kids are getting big. The oldest ones are just about 3 months now, and the youngest are 2 months. The meat goats are starting to put on some size, and the bucklings are getting tall.

Here's Ean and Blondie.

And sweet little Zeeba.

Hey wait, those aren't goats! Melissa and Tim had the pigs in the larger pasture for some excersize. Believe it or not, a 4H pig needs to be walked and kept in shape. That's a whole nother story!

The kids had never seen the pigs up close and personal. Sputnik was the brave member of the herd.
Oxford didn't seem to care. But then again, he is a pig!

Oxford waking to *hopefully* find a treat.

Oxford is still looking for that treat.

Check out his eye..that is one of the things I actually don't like about pigs. To me their eyes look very much like ours. Kind of gives me the creeps.

The Secret Lives of Pigs

*Editors Note* I'm not sure how, but sometime this morning the pigs seem to have hijacked the computer and published the following.



"Hello, my name is Leetle Friend, and this is a porkumentary about the secret lives of pigs. No pigs were harmed in making this blog, but names have been changed to protect the innocent."











"This is our standard operating mode. It may appear that we are asleep, but we are actually plotting to take over the feed barrel."

"We spend much of our days digging for buried treasures. You just never know what you might find under there!"

"Gotta keep our strength up. All that laying around makes a guy hungry."

"Yes, we do eat like pigs. Yes, we were raised in a barn. No, we don't chew with our mouths closed."

"We do have a bit of a drinking problem..."

"And we're not too good at construction jobs. Now _destruction_, that's our thing!"

We hope you have enjoyed this blog on the Secret Lives of Pigs. I'm sure you'll never look at them in quite the same way again! Tune in next time for Down Home Hog Wrestling...a new Barnyard Olympic sport!

The 3 Little Pigs
