More Piglets
Yesterday we came out to find that Spotted Pig was having her piglets. She had 15 total. There are 12 of those still with us, which is a good amount. She doesn’t seem to be as good a mom as Red is so far but she is still only 24 hours post partum. 
We have quite a mix of colors this batch. They are also the smallest piglets that I have ever had in my barn, but they are also the smallest pigs that I have ever had give birth. The piglets are vigorous and healthy so I think they will do fine.
Tonight I have to do a little piglet denstry and veterinary medicine. They all need to have their teeth cut and their shots and to have their navels treated. I think that the moms will both have shots of antibiotics too. I had to examine Red so she definitely needs a shot.
Looks yummish don’t they.
