Bacon Farrows Eleven

Sasquatch is Anti-Social . . . But Sharing is Caring

Bacon farrowed eleven little piglets on October 16, 2021. As I write this on Nov. 9, Bacon has lost three of this litter (one was stillborn and two were crushed). The rest are doing great and should be weaned with ease.

Bacon broke off from the herd and found herself a huge Douglas Fir to nest under. Be sure to check out Bacon’s Farrowing Nest.

Unfortunately, during farrowing Bacon suffered from a prolapse. This means that she will not be able to safely deliver another litter. After weaning, it’s sausage time for my very first and favorite pig, the one who had explosive diarrhea in my face . . . Bacon.

What really pisses me off is that while the cause of prolapse is unknown one of the prime suspects for causes is diet. And this happened after we had to change our feed due to supply chain issues. LET’S GO BRANDON!

Of course Bacon is one of our nicest pigs. She doesn’t care one bit if you climb in her nest and play with her babies. That means she has been a huge hit with our Farm School guests.

If you want to visit that farm and play with piglets, be sure to follow along on Band or text “BACON” to (844) 721-1271.
