The pigs are VERY happy to be a part of the study and have become quite close with each other. They like to gnaw on the hose whenever they want to get wet. Winter (Duroc) spins in circles when I spray him with the hose and then sits like a dog and drinks from the stream of water. Spring (Yorkshire) walks to the pens where the baby-doll sheep are and just stares at them for up to 10 minutes, unmoving. Summer (Berkshire) continues to chew on my rubber boots while I clean the pens.
Winter: 50 lbs (up by 9 lbs) Spring: 65 lbs (up by 11 lbs) Summer: 72 lbs (up by 6 lbs) This means that our feed proportions have changed! Winter: 1.5 lbs per feeding or 3 lbs per day Spring: 1.95 lbs per feeding or 3.9 lbs per day Summer: 2.16 lbs per feeding or 3.32 lbs per day Overall, the pigs have grown close to each other as well as to me and we're looking forward to the rest of the project!
