Thanks everyone! 24 hours old now. I'm anxiously waited for them to get old enough to start mauling me!.... I love raising pig!....

I was thinking about this last night....kind of funny circle. As I was ooo'ing and ah'ing and cuddling these new babies...and fretting over them being ok and staying up all night checking them often....I was eating BBQ pulled pork sandwiches in between checks that came from a pig I did the same thing to last year when his litter was born........ It's a neat wholesome experience though.

Thank you Chief Cook and Shore Farming!....

I believe I'll cut teeth, give iron shots and ear notch today.

Fun watching them play fight and start to mess with me.

I'm getting ready for gilt #2 of the year to have babies.
