Piglet and Kid Pictures!!

Momma Pig went to eat and have a mud wallow while we took some pictures of her babies and mine! She is a GREAT mother and we are so thankful. She is really careful with them and trusts us like piglet sitters whenever we go in there. The piglets were about 8 hours old here and she took off for the mud wallow just as soon as she could. We probably spent 30 or more minutes with them as she wallowed in the mud and ate! She only came back after we'd been gone for a while and then she gave them a little sniff and was satisfied we'd taken good care of them.

Jed petting a piglet.. probably the best shot of the bunch. The piglets seemed to enjoy all the petting and didn't even squeak.

L and a piglet eye to eye!!

L petting a piglet while the others look on.. he was the 1st one to pet one and they were all in awe! The straw area is the communal pig bed where she had them. The wood pile was stacked up and they shoved it over the 1st day in the pen and seem to like that area the best anyway!

Just watching them. They wandered here and there and the kids enjoyed watching them try and walk together.

Some faces :) Their ears are still pinned back from being crowded in the womb. It was supposed to rain that evening and so we moved them into a pig hut. They were nursing when we did it and she calmly accepted Papa taking two at a time until he'd taken the last two and then she looked a little heart broken but still didn't get up until I started to call her over to them. Thankfully Momma pig accepted the move and moved in as well as it rained almost half the night. This morning they all looked great, healthy and bright eyed!! :) Praise the Lord!!
