Here are 18 sleeping baby pigs. They are about a month old and will be sold in about 2 more weeks. They will be called wiener pigs because they have been wiened from their mother. We have dozens of pig projects coming up in the next year so we will buy a lot of piglets. Lucky aren't we?

How to weigh a pig
This is Mr. Nash our pig farmer friend weighing one of the pigs we bought. He simply put the pig in a grain sack and hooked the sack on a scale. The pig weighed about 45 lbs and was sold to us for about $80.00 US. When the pig gets about 130 lbs., they will either sell it for meat or have the females bred for more pigs. Pigs have a 3-3-3 cycle for having a litter. Three months, three weeks and three days and they deliver after getting pregnant
Sorrel
This is a fruit bud called sorrel. The local people use it for a delicious drink mixed with ginger. Very tasty with a little bite from the ginger. The farmers on the 5 acre farm have about 2 acres of sorrel almost ready for harvest. They have to take a large pit from the center of the bud and sell the petals on the market for about one dollar a pound.
