HELP my 1st Pig

[sumi]

Glad the dog and livestock are all o.k. Makes me glad again that I live in such a tame country!

Eek! How's everyone this morning??

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Holy cow! That's NOT the excitement you want in the middle of the night. Hope its resolved itself by now. Hope your dog is ok!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Kinda makes ya wonder where "mama cat" is? Think your dog got her bad enough for her to be out of commission? or worse? Not that he shouldn't have - he was doing his job and did it well!

 

[CrealCritter]

Well, your name is CrealCritter. Looks like they know it too!

You made me laugh

Search me? I just don't know...

I don't worry too much about predators and the pigs either - except newborns. I had two disappear out of the last batch before Cowboy figured it out and started jumping fences to chase our resident bobcat(s) away.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

He is looking so much better!

Also when their belly starts dragging when they walk. That would be a bad sign, lol

 

[NH Homesteader]

Lol you could say that I suppose. He won't gain so much on corn, it's what 8% protein I think?

You going to be cool with butchering him yourself?
