This was the noisiest of all the pigs on mani pedi day. Of course once the recording started, she quieted down
Many people ask how we flip the pigs. It starts with reaching underneath them and grabbing their far legs. You pull their legs toward you, which rolls them over onto their back. Most of our pigs are over 200lbs. Often it requires a couple people holding onto them if they squirm around.
Moe… he is always talking 🐽
Moe… he is always following us around
Moe… is already loved 🥰
Moe
On the paperwork, his name is George Jones. He is a 5 year old purebred Kunekune.
We are thinking about calling him Moe. He is a happy fella who seems to think I am his long lost girlfriend
😳
Big Red bit at me because I smelled like my new man 😂
Big n Round 😂
Big n’ Round. Big n’ Fat. I call him names all the time. He likes it. Why else would he always be there when I am outside?! I can’t go anywhere without being “pigged” by Big Red. Being pigged is what I call it when the pigs rub their dirty snouts on me. I never leave the house in dirt free clothing 🤪
When I started petting his head, those oinks he made are called hot pants. It’s a pigs way of showing affection. Big Red is big on handing out hot pants 🥰
This is Mowgli. He is 5 years old and a purebred Kunekune. He was raised in the house, but now lives happily outdoors. He is never bothered by rain or snow.
Leaving
This is how we come and go. We throw food into the yard, and once the pigs are off to the side eating, we open the gate and drive out every so quickly
This is also causing “spoiled pig syndrome” in Big JERK Red 🙃
He expects food the minute I come out the door. He screams, he charges at me, he tries to knock me down, and he has even given me a little nip or two (from behind my back)
Luckily, for my safety, I racked up my credit card to buy fence posts, more fence posts and even more fence posts….. just to keep Red in his place 😜
Any day now, my night in a shining Bobcat will show up and get these posts pounded into the ground.
If you or anyone you know has ever wanted to put up farm fencing, let me know. I need help. Lots of help. Both mentally and physically 🤪😂
Checking on my babes before bed
Bedtime
sneaking in to check on the babes before bed. It’s super cute to see how they completely bury themselves in straw. I thought it was only Tank in there. They had this pig momma fooled 😂
Big Baby Red
I cannot sneak out a door without this turd catching me 😜
He says he is starving….to death! Then, if you do not feed him, he will follow you and rub his dirty snout all over your pants.
Sometimes he even pushes between my legs like he is going to take me for a ride 😂
Farm pigs! The audacity of a farm pig! He is a whole other cup of tea😂
Old goat house
Kohkôs goes through the hole in the wall and sleeps like a queen in the old goat house
Pig house
Yesterday was a day well spent!
We put in temporary flooring and are doing some much needed insulating. This is where the pigs will spend this winter.
Now that it’s getting colder, we will be putting up vapour barrier, insulation and plywood. As you can see, they have a couple large areas to bed down in
If you have extra insulation, lumber, and old, dry plywood or OSB, we would be happy to make use of it.
