Piglets

Eleven nine week old piglets in a dog crate...this, my friends,
is exactly like a clown car routine at the circus. We prefer our piglets to travel in a small,
confined space like a dog crate. It seems to stress them out less when they are all snuggled up together,
and not sloshing around loose in the back of the truck. They often organize themselves in rows, just like
 hot dogs in a package.

We had a gap in our pig schedule and picked
 up these beautiful piglets from Crosby Farm in Berne, NY.
 It is a beautiful, well-managed farm that sits way up on a hill overlooking the world.
 They come from a couple of different litters, there is some red wattle in the mix
 (see the little dangly things on the pig in the front right?), some Berkshire, some Old Spot.
