Well good news and bad news... first the bad.....we lost three baby pigs in the two days after they were born. Two were definitely smaller than the others. Ethel, the mom, accidentally laid on the third one. When the first baby started getting weak I brought it to the house, kept it in a box with a heater on it, and fed it goats milk. It ate well but was just too weak to make it. We buried all three under a nice, big oak tree.
The good news.....the four remaining babies are doing GREAT!!! We have one female, LuLu, and three males, Owen, Bumpy, and Elmer.
Here's a pic of Owen enjoying a little belly rub.
