Wallows and Piglets

 

 

 

 

Old teats, new piggies.

We try hard to keep our fields from being over-worked and muddy. Occasionally, when is it very, very hot, we will make the pigs a wallow (a mud hole to cool down in). In this picture Mary Jane made her own wallow after a rainstorm. It sure looks luxurious.

Before she wallowed Mary Jane made a little spot for her babies to stay dry on a nearby hill. She had them all nice and clean later in the afternoon. Good mama pig!
