The Three Pigs

Our new additions to the farm.
All girls.
(Simon, Alvin and Theodore)
It just fits.
These three little hogs were caught on the property
where we cut hay.
(They were about a week, or two old.)Rootin Around
" Awww, this is bliss."
At first they were fed with these droppers,
but only for a few days!!

What do hogs want? MORE

So bottles replace the droppers QUICKLY.

This is Theodore the runt,
who likes to bite!!!


We have scars to prove it!!

"Got milk?"
Nope, "Had milk" ;)

(Gabriel just getting in from work.)
"Hey, little sisters, what's new around the ole homestead today?
Well........(look in the hay). "Hide n Seek"

(WARNING)
Do not continue if you have a weak stomach.
The Three Pigs
continued...........

It's pouring rain and cold,
the truck pulls in with (Three hogs).
Never mind about relaxing on a rainy day,
It's time for butchering.
Our Provision
(and next project.)
Skinning, gutting and cleaning goes on outside.
(Team 1: Dad and Christiana)
(Team 2: Liv and Ariana)
Love these handy butchering tools.
The grinding, and making of yummy sausage,
ribs and hams, go on inside.
Thank you, Lord for providing all of our needs :).
And having food and raiment
let us be therewith content.

Well just thought i'd fill ya in on that bit of History:):)
