MORE LITTLE PIGLETS ON THE HOMESTEAD!
Yesterday we had another litter of piglets born!
We knew that she was pregnant, but didn't know when she would give birth! Yesterday, while Monster Truck the Pepper and I were doing some chores on the land, we noticed something. Here is the video footage of us first checking out these piglets.
SEVEN MORE PIGLETS!
There is something every exciting about having an animal successfully birth the next generation. We never grow tired of it.
These cute little piglets were born outside on a beautiful day, which can be rare enough these days. They were not in some dark concrete pen. However, we still needed to get them into an area where they would be safer, and where they could not escape from.
Monster Truck the Pepper helped me move them over to their home. It was very nice to see my young man enjoying these new creatures. I'm glad that my children can experience things like this.
Before too long they were all hard at work figuring out how to drink mama's milk. It is amazing to me to see how quickly the little piglets can be up and running around, and that they know right where to go for a meal. Just as it was designed, the milk shows up at the right time too!
Here you can see how little the seven new piglets are when compared to the nine that were born before. They live next door to one another, and will eventually probably be playmates. It was a super-happy day for us, and we are so blessed to be able to enjoy these animals.
Did you know that both the mama pig and the papa pig were purchased with earnings from steemit? Check out the post on that from last year here: https://steemit.com/steemit/@papa-pepper/breaking-news-is-steemit-starting-to-buy-the-farm-papa-pepper-investigates
HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG?
It is amazing to reflect back on these pigs. I can't believe that it has been over a year already! Here is a photo of the mama pig just a year ago! She has the lighter colored stripe. They grow up so quickly...
It's amazing how time flies, and what steemit can do! We now have even more second generation STEEM-POWERED PIGGIES!
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:

Wow

Monster pepper seems to like the pink one... Very good video showing next generation of the pigs thru their new born... Hope they are kept in a closed area for safety from the elements. Tks for sharing
They are good and safe so far! Thank you!
Great sir and keep educating us and showing us the ideal way of excellent parenting... Do so save enough organic eggshells... Very good for adults... Kids and Animals as I outlined in my latest blog post.. thanks once more and keep up the hot steeming

We are doing well. Thanks @charles1.
That's excellent for the kids to grow up with this and getting close with the animals. We had goats that we were breeding, along with a milking cow.
Cool. The kids do love it!

Adorable piglets, and a profitable litter! Really enjoy the fact that this is a Steem-backed venture...
How long before the piglets reach full size and what will you do with them, eventually? Do you butcher them for yourselves or perhaps they will be sold?
Upvoted and am now following you. Thanks again, and wishing you continued good luck on Steem!
We will sell some and butcher others.
Very cute and lovely piglets...happy to see those piglets sleeping..😊
