They are here! The last littler of 50/50 red wattle - large black crosses were born today! 6 little piglets all looking healthy and happy. These guys are known as black wattles, to signify the cross. they are mostly black with faint red stripes down their body.
I am amazed at how lively they are, being only minutes old! These little fellows are roaming all around the pasture, looking for anyone or anything to suck on!
This is a great week to visit to see fresh baby pigs... they are much cuter in the beginning than a few months later :)

| The mom is still giving birth to the last one, laying in the pen with her sisters. you can see the little ones roaming around already, minutes old. |

| sometimes the ears take a while to settle in |

| Can you see the characteristic faint red stripes down his sides? |
 |
| These little ones got tired of waiting for mom and went searching for milk form.. auntie! she had a good attitude about it.. |
 |
| finally the way life ought to be.. nursing on mom :) the last one is making his way to the breakfast buffet. |
