Update on the little fighters!

We are down to 5 unfortunately. But they are doing well this morning! A few temporary mommas took them fine and they are nursing! It’s still early, but we thank the lord that he has given them strength and another chance.

We want to say a big thank you to a few families that have generously helped us through this crazy situation!

•The Price family, with P5 showpigs. This is the wonderful family that graciously agreed to adopt our babies on to a couple of their sows. We can not express our gratitude enough.

•The McMurtrey’s, this wouldn’t have been possible without your selfless support, in driving up here picking them up and making the connection with the prices. You guys are such a wonderful family and I’m so glad Lola connected us.

•The Hiltner’s, with Hiltner livestock. Lastly but certainly not least, we want to thank Tyler and Breckyn for all of your advice. You are always there when we have questions or when we need help, we appreciate you guys more than you know!

Most know that raising livestock isn’t for the faint of heart.

Sure sometimes it’s cute babies, sweet mommas, smooth deliveries, good morning greetings from all the sows, pigs you raised winning banners.

But it’s also, staying up for 3 nights in a row waiting on a sow to farrow, not being able to sleep after she has them because you just don’t think something right, mommas laying on babies, stillborns, babies that come out deformed, and trying to teach 6 piglets at 48 hours old how to nurse from a bottle because your gut feeling was right and your momma went septic and passed away over night.

The saying blood, sweat and tears isn’t just a metaphor. We love our sows just about as much as our pets. We all know it happens, it’s part of the game. But dang does it suck when it happens.

We have some very generous families that not only have helped with advice but are going to see if we can give these babies a fighting chance by adopting them on to one of their sows. Please say a prayer for these six little fighters! We will hopefully keep everyone updated on their progress.

After an exhausting day, we are all feeling worn out.

Hoyt Mcmurtrey was spot on. She started at 10:30am and ended at 7pm. Delivered twelve large-boned piglets, although sadly only six survived. However, we choose to focus on the positive that we have 6 healthy babies!

Congratulations to Hoyt on winning the giveaway! (For those who are unaware, we purchased Lola from Hoyt earlier this year. He was her showman. Pretty cool if you ask us!)

Edit: Hoyt guessed 8/4 12 piglets at 6:30 pm.
