It’s been a minute since I had a farm saga to share but buckle up because today I do.
Got a text from Dad around noon asking where Sara (the pig) went. Checked the camera and ooo look at that, Sara decided that she was no longer to be contained in her pen at around 1030 but beyond knowing that she’d left her pen, I had no idea where she went.
Did I mention Sara is super pregnant and due any minute?
Yea. That.
When I finished work at my paying job, I headed over to see if I could find her.
Bucket of grain in hand I started to search the places she could bed down, hoping she was just sacked out and super comfy.
I did find her. And 9 of her new little ones. 🐽
She’d tucked herself up against a fence line in a protected little area. I had to watch for a minute while playing “dead or just sleeping.” (She was breathing - thank goodness.)
We ended up bringing one of the trailers down and scooping up the babies. She loaded up fairly easily and then moved the trailer to the barnyard. Then we gave Sara some food and water and fresh bedding.
When we tucked her and then moved the babies in for the night there were 11 live babies and as of when I’m writing this, I’m not sure she’s done. 🐽
So these babies are a first at Kenyon Acres: born outside and spending their first night in a mobile home.
