Little piggies let me touch them last night while they ate! All it took was 5 minutes of sitting really still, and a few sweet rolls... :)
I'll write more later in the week, but for now, we have 3 barrows (castrated males) and 2 gilts (young females). They were born on 12/28.

No wonder they are leery. ;-)
But sugar makes everything good. :-)
Congratulations again!
I must admit when I read the title I thought you were going in a different direction.
But then I realized you were referencing pigs.
They are super cute and thank you for letting us lay people know what a gilt and barrow is! I would've had to look it up...
Sometimes I'm overwhelmed at all the farm-things I don't know and will be learning. Things don't seem to "stick" to my brain as easily any longer. These pigs look different. Aren't they different from before? What's the difference in the breed?
They look like healthy little boogers.

Yaah! Happy little nippers, and now they shall grow, and grow!
Will pigs dig under a fence? I have no idea and never had any.....
They are extremely cute, and I am extremely happy to have learned two new words today: gilt and barrow. Who knew?
That's exciting! We have hopes of raising a few ourselves one of these years. We need to find our own farm though. We're pushing the limits of what our landlord will let us do here. =)
Lindsey, I chuckled a little at the title, wondering what sort of hits I'd get for it. I recently discovered that my post about Bitor the jerk gander generated some hits from some very dirty searches. Fat, white, and jerk all played into that hit. I laughed my butt off!
Lana, more soon, I promise!
Chai Chai- I'm pretty sure they would if they could (wild pigs do), but we're not testing those limits. :)
