Herding Pigs- Again!

Once we put the pig in her new pasture, we walked back up to the house. We were all inside when Mommy looked out and saw that old pig walking back up towards the barn! I guess she got lonely for her brother and sister pigs and went back to be with them.

Daddy had to go out to the pasture and fix the electric fence, and then we went to get Miss Piggy moved again. But this time Mommy and Daddy decided that she had been so calm the first time that we probably did not need to use the hay bale feeder. Daddy got another bucket of feed, and I helped him by herding Miss Piggy again.She was a very good pig and we got her moved with no problems. Here she is, settling in to her new home where she will have her babies soon. She has lots of fresh grass and weeds to eat and Daddy takes water to her so she can drink and have a mudhole to wallow in. I never knew that pigs eat grass, but they do, just like cows and horse. Neat! I think she looks very happy.
