We had a surprise about midnight last Thursday night - Barb had piglets! Thankfully our Karakachan livestock guardian dogs alerted us to the middle of the night action. She had 22 piglets total - although, unfortunately, not all of them made it. We had 12 survive & are doing well. On Sunday, she stepped on 1 of the 12 & split the skin on his leg. We bandaged him up (thanks for helping Heather!) & Jennifer is now bottle feeding the little guy, who they named Pumpkin. (Thanks Jennifer & family - pumpkin is 1 spoiled little piggy!) We're having a lot of fun watching these little guys running around the pen. It amazes me to see the HUGE size difference between these little ones & their mom below.
