Pigs in the Kitchen!
What a distinct odor greeted my nose when coming down the stairs this morning. One of our daughter's sows farrowed last night and she refuses to nurse the little ones. So Farmer Rick did what any other good farmer would do. He offered the sow a few beers and after she toppled over, the little ones nursed and all were happy! Since he didn't want the sow to lay on any of the little ones, they were loaded up into a bright yellow tote and brought up to a nice warm farm house to spend the night. They are scurrying around in their makeshift home, warming themselves under the heat lamp. We'll soon be heading to the barn for morning milking, taking them with us so that they can fill their little tummies. They'll soon be snug again under their heat lamp, dreaming little pig dreams of filling their bellies and getting into trouble!
