Gertrude has recovered amazingly from her ordeal last week, and the piglets are almost double in size. In a week or two we will need to introduce creep feed and water for them.
This might be a good opportunity to introduce hog drinking nipples as well.
Then in about 8 weeks, try to sell six of them off. So reach out if you are looking for a meishan/IPP cross feeder pig.
"I only remember the very first part of the book where he described the man of steel and velvet and I remember the deep chord that phrase struck. I remember the image I had of a hand of living steel wearing a velvet glove, a hand that could crush or caress, strike a killing blow or wipe away tears, lift mountains or cradle an infant. The rest of the book was an afterthought."
From an essay about Aubrey Andelin's "Man of Steel and Velvet".
