Baby pigs

       
        Week old baby pigs out running around on the 60 degree late fall day. 
      Momma is always close by to make sure her babies are safe. 
      What a cute little red one. 
      That same day another sow had 15 live pigs.  This was one ice cold so in the house it came to get warmed up and a full belly.
        Attempting to feed it some calf milk replacer, but it is still to cold to drink.
      Snuggling with the baby pig in the chair. 
        After we got it's temperature up, it finally drank a little.  Still not drinking like it should.  
      After gaining some energy and exploring around on the floor it crawled into Derick's sweatshirt.
       Sniffing his hand and wondering "Are you my Mommy"  
      Now a week later all the sows have pigged.  We have 40 baby pigs running around.  Some of the pigs from the large litters sometimes drink from the Momma's with only 4 or 6 baby pigs.
