THE PIGLETS ARE GROWING AND THE NEIGHBOR IS LEARNING

in #homesteading8 years ago

Today I finally got around to helping my neighbor with his pigs again.


Since he's still new at it and since I used to raise pigs, he wanted my semi-expert assistance. Thankfully, the little female piglet that was previously having an issue has healed up. The mother and her four piglets all seem to be doing well, and the neighbors are enjoying having them on their homestead. Today I tried to teach the neighbor about a few things pertaining to the young male piglet, but the guy didn't really have the stomach for it, so I guess it is good that I was there. After the "help," I spent a while taking some photos too, so I could share their progress with all of you. I'll include some of the earlier photos for size comparison. Enjoy!

SOME "BEFORE" PHOTOS FROM LAST TIME

These photos were taken about four weeks ago. These are from just after the piglets were born, within about 48 hours of birth.

THE PHOTOS FROM TODAY

Compared to a month ago, you can see that these little piggies are growing very well! Also, their mama is really fat too! LOL!

As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Mighty neighborly of you. My brother in law is the pig whisperer. He usually has 15-30 at all times...

Just found out your blog. Followed immediately!
They look so interesting actually, very different to which I have seen, you must have had a great time and they are growing with lighting speed indeed.

It's always a good thing to offer a helping hand. Weldone sir. The piglet are growing indeed.
You are a good man. You are always ready to help, just yesterday you put up a challenge to help @arbitrarykitten
You are my role model and my mentor

Wooh this animal look sound and healthy @papa-pepper you are really trying

Same thoughts here! You changed my doubt.. I for one do not raise pigs, never have, but always admire the fact that some can do so neatly as you do. This is motivating. Welldone to you, and nice piglets 🐽.. They're 'cute' and healthy looking..

Wow I Am so afraid to that animal.
In my garden I often see that but I run very quick

Oh no! That sounds horrible.

Don't mention! There's sufficient kismet to be finished in crop growing mainly in view of our crowded inhabitants and chubby market, we no more than should to believe the initiative and explore these opportunities. The sky is the limit.

The piglets have really grown. Well-done @papa-pepper. Homesteading and helping others to better living is what you enjoy to do. I love that
