Pigs Arrive at Silver Spear

This evening two 5 week old piglets were delivered to the property. They have come as temporary guests and will be fattened for slaughter over the coming months. I have to say I was a little unsettled by their arrival. I'm not exactly sure about their stay with us and to be honest they did not seem so pleased about their new digs - huddling into a corner and staring at us in a completely petrified state. Rearing pigs has been a long held desire of my husband - going back to his days growing up on a farm. Personally, I'm not so sure we are to properly equipped to deal with the needs of these animals.   I'm also not so sure I like my husband leaving the pig feed dish (complete with left over half chewed food and smelling of swine) on my kichen bench either.   I may need to be further sold on this venture because at this stage the little piggies have not won me over :-(
