We bought a piglet this morning. She is 5 weeks old.

She is very friendly and smart.

Isn't she cute?! I am going to try hard not to get attached to her. She should be ready for the freezer in 5-6 months. We're not naming her. We don't name the food :wink:

She's so cute! I think her name should be Myrtle.

Around here we just call them pigs and eat them any where from 200 to five hundred pounds. about 350 is consider best for size. An ole second refrigerator is good about salting fat back and hams and etc. Also for extra vegs.

First time it gets into your garden you will lose your attachment to it. :wink:

You will want to kill it then.

I just learned earlier this morning that "piglet" isn't even a term for a baby pig! lol.

It had better not get in my garden!! :shock:
