It's been awhile since my last post for a very exciting reason. We are expecting our first child, which we were told was an impossibility! I am currently six months pregnant with a little girl and we are thrilled. The downside is, that between the Tennessee heat and my ever growing girth, the farm work is getting more difficult for me. Luckily, I have a fantastic husband, who has been doing his best to take up the slack with the farm chores.
We put the hogs together about a month ago and Boris took no time to get the hang of his job. We are hoping that both the girls took and that the piglets will arrive in October or early November, before the baby gets here. The saying goes that pig gestation time is three months, three weeks, three days and at three in the morning.
The Tennessee heat has been hard on the pigs as well. They spend most of their mornings lounging in their mud wallows and the afternoons relaxing in the woods. In the evenings, they know exactly what time dinner is served and are ready and waiting!
