Three Little Pigs....Chris brought these 3 home to the farm on Dec. 22, 09 - my early Christmas present I suppose! We have a great winter setup for them in one of our barns and plan to move them to another barn with outside access as soon as the ground begins to thaw this Spring. They enjoy burrowing into the mound of fresh hay we give them as bedding. They actually make a 'cave' out of the hay to sleep in & stay warm. Usually they sleep head to foot all lined up so they use each others body heat. These 3 are all neutered males. They are a breed called Yorkshire which typically grow to be about 200-250 lbs at maturity. They are now about 3 mos. old and weigh approximately 35 lbs ea. They do a fair amount of grunting, snorting and even squealing if they fight over the food. In this picture they are eating some afternoon treats I brought down the other day.
Driveway: still snowy
FS contents: 4 doz EGGS, mulch HAY
General comments: Enjoying the slightly warmer temp today - wish we didn't have the breeze though...will try to get the dogs out in the field this afternoon if I can get myself motivated!
