New Piglets

Our distinguish lady of the farm Beatrice has given birth to 3 strong and healthy piglets early last week and the Bissell family was here to witness the exciting event.
At a week old we have one male at 1.4 kgs One Female at 1.6 kgs and another male nearly doubling the other two at 2.7kgs this is definitely Princes boy.

Unfortuanetly 48 hours after the birth of the 3 sadly Beatrice passed 3 more still born. Very frustrating but its part of life and apparently common in older sows.

Today I tagged and documented them which involves weighing them, clipping their ears for identificational purposes, counting teats and documenting markings.

I managed to muck up the ear noticing and instead of marking the second piglet as number 5 on our farm Ive marked it as 802. I think this mistake will not cause any issues at all as its going to be several years if not decades before we will have produced our 800th pig.
