We had some new litters born. They are so cute!! These sows are first time mothers and they seem to be doing pretty good so far.
I don't think that they liked me taking pictures of them. I thought that one of the sows was going to
chase after me.
The next older group of piglets are getting big. They were weened from their mom about a week ago.
Georgia and Austin enjoy helping with pig chores from their comfy ride.
Inside the first finishing barn.
Casey and his dad, Glen, loading pigs to sell from the second finishing barn. The steer were more than willing to come over and supervise the operation.
Loading the pigs into the big trailer. We had 30 pigs to sell. The livestock trailer holds a total of 180 hogs. Once completely loaded from West Michigan it drives straight to the slaughter house in Iowa.
Austin was very impressed with the giant trailer and wanted to take a walk around it. Here is picture from the other side of the trailer from where they were loading in. Glen is chasing our pigs from our little livestock trailer into the semi.
some of the baby pigs look like little puppies.
ReplyDeleteWhen ever I see trailers filled with little piggies driving down the road, I always want to hijack it and let em all FREE!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to see you tracking down the semi and trying to free the pigs!
