I got hogs today

[trudy]

Well I never thought I would have ever fooled with hogs, but I got suckered in anyway. This guy was tired of messing with them, he had 6 and was giving them away. A co worker took 4 and the sow is pregnant right now. I dang sure didn't want her. But DH got a pen put together for them and I brought them home today. They are white with some black spots. I was told they are pot bellies, perhaps mixed with domestic. , I think I've lost it . This is gonna be interesting to say the least. I haven't taken a pic yet, but will as soon as they settle down, they seem so nervous right now in their new place. They are kinda cute though. trudy

Well, will ya check it out! Trudy got da bug too! I just love my animals! I bet you will too. But, I'm glad you didn't get the pregnant one too. I'm pretty sure they deliver more than one or two!

Alright T, let em settle down. May take upto 3 days, them buggers are .

Now goodnes I hope their not pot bellys, unless you wanted pets.
FIRST RULE IN RAISING THEM FOR FOOD......DON'T NAME EM.

Any help ya might need, you know I'm here.

How many did you get?? Are they babies?? Did you get the pregnant one?? Are they all females?? They are cute when they are babies...

Thanks C, I may be dropping u a line or two along the way. ST, they are males that still have to be (U know) taken care of. A friend of mine is gonna do that for us, cuz we don't know what we're doing in that department lol. There are 2 of the them an different sizes, we do plan on feeding them out btw. Don't want to keep them as pets, I think they are more pot bellie than domestic though. No I didn't get the pregnant sow, didn't want to deal with that cuz I know when the babies are born I would get attached to them. DD comes home today, knowing her and her love of animals she's gonna want them to be pets. trudy

BTW Trudy, My son who has never had a n interest in dogs, brought home some kind of wire haired terrier looking thing. This poor thing is Uuuuuugly. Looks like a little black pig. Or a miniture razor back....I didn't say anything because it is a first for him, and the dog is very sweet and very smart....but....SHE LOOKS LIKE A PIG !!!!!!
