BACON and PORK CHOP


This is Bacon and Pork Chop. Bryon and Lisa went to the Fordland Small Animal Swap scouting pigs. They brought these two little pigs home yesterday. One for them, one for us. The boys laid claim to the little white spotted one and named him Bacon. The other one belongs to Bryon and Lisa - he is Pork Chop. They are both living on the Medley Farm as we don't have what it takes for Bacon to live at our house.

We met them this afternoon as Bryon needed help in order to castrate them. Those little pigs are strong! It took all four guys to hold each pig down. Bryon was the surgeon, Chris held the back legs, Austin held the front legs but had to turn his head as the incision was made. Aaron was a great supervisor!! Lisa video taped it but we thought that those PETA people would hate us for sure, so it is not blogged. It was definitely a learning experience for us all!!

Now, little piggy...grow, grow, GROW!!! Hmmm...ham sounds great for Thanksgiving dinner, doesn't it?
