I love piglets! When I was a teenager we stayed on a farm in England. They had those types of pigs with the huge ears!! I still remember those little piglets and their squeals!! :lol:

Today they are two weeks old. In the pictures they are less than a week. So cute! It is funny that piglets are so small and cute and when they grow up they are HUGE!

I LOVE watching pigs, and I could spend hours watching, but I don't want to have one! They are fascinating to observe though...I watched a friend's Tamworth sow with babies and when she "told" them to go into their house, they ALL instantly obeyed. But to watch them tear around their pen was fabulous. Lucky you, Fishy, you get to watch and enjoy. Thanks for sharing these. I hesitate to ask if you will be filling your freezer with porkchops any time in the future?

The pigs are our neighbors' daughter's 4H project. Last year she did two pigs - one to sell at the fair and one for the freezer ("Popeye"). I must say I haven't eaten pork in YEARS until "Popeye" this year. :innocent:

She decided to have her own little piggie business. She bought a sow, picked out the daddy from the catalog and now she's raising the piggies at home. She'll keep three, I think - one for the fair, two for the freezer. The rest will be for sale as fair pigs or feeder pigs.

She loves her pigs! They take good care of them and feed them well and they are well-loved. So she's selling "Happy Pigs from R&R"

We won't have one for our freezer, but we may take some sausage or ribs or someting. We don't really eat a lot of meat.

O.k. that's just wrong... you don't name your food... :o

My MIL took it one step farther though... not only did they name their pigs, but when they came back from the butcher the packages would be labeled "Pinky: bacon", "Spot: pork chops"...

Cute piglets though... they look super cute :)

They are adorable! I don't think they would like the freezer. :unsure:

(The 3rd pick makes me laugh b/c the piggie on top looks like he has a rhino horn!)

Oh no no no no no! I can eat meat as long as I can't put a face to it. I think if I had to slaughter my own food, I'd be a vegetarian too. I have nothing against those who can do it mind you, but not me!!

Those piggies are too cute! I love the one with the huge black spot on his of-so-kissable snout.
