MORE LITTLE PIGLETS ON THE HOMESTEAD!

Yesterday we had another litter of piglets born!

We knew that she was pregnant, but didn't know when she would give birth! Yesterday, while Monster Truck the Pepper and I were doing some chores on the land, we noticed something. Here is the video footage of us first checking out these piglets.

SEVEN MORE PIGLETS!

There is something every exciting about having an animal successfully birth the next generation. We never grow tired of it.

These cute little piglets were born outside on a beautiful day, which can be rare enough these days. They were not in some dark concrete pen. However, we still needed to get them into an area where they would be safer, and where they could not escape from.

Monster Truck the Pepper helped me move them over to their home. It was very nice to see my young man enjoying these new creatures. I'm glad that my children can experience things like this.

Before too long they were all hard at work figuring out how to drink mama's milk. It is amazing to me to see how quickly the little piglets can be up and running around, and that they know right where to go for a meal. Just as it was designed, the milk shows up at the right time too!

Here you can see how little the seven new piglets are when compared to the nine that were born before. They live next door to one another, and will eventually probably be playmates. It was a super-happy day for us, and we are so blessed to be able to enjoy these animals.

Did you know that both the mama pig and the papa pig were purchased with earnings from steemit? Check out the post on that from last year here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@papa-pepper/breaking-news-is-steemit-starting-to-buy-the-farm-papa-pepper-investigates

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?

It is amazing to reflect back on these pigs. I can't believe that it has been over a year already! Here is a photo of the mama pig just a year ago! She has the lighter colored stripe. They grow up so quickly...
