Miss Fighter is a mama!!!!!!!

She delivered ten piglets last Sat. morning, one was born dead, and 2 were gone the next morning (Sun), no one has any idea what happened to them. But the remaining 7 are doing well, and are just as cute as can be. There are 2 boys and 5 girls (the wild colored one is a girl, ain't she perdy?). So, making their debut on the world wide web, are the seven little piglets.........

The daddy is a Hampshire (black with the white belt), Fighter is a cross-bred, but is marked like a Hamp, too......have no idea where the Wild one came from, though. I've never in all my years, seen a pig marked like that. She may bring pretty good money, since she is so different.

SIL said that last year, at the first sale they went to, there was a pig that was marked like a Hamp, but instead of black, it was red. It sold for about $800, as I recall.......and it was a tiny one, too!

Folks tend to go a little nuts over something different.........
 
It's possible, Kolanu........but there are a couple of holes in the farrow barn, and I was kinda thinking maybe a skunk or bobcat got in.....or they got out into the pen with their daddy. He's kinda a grouchy ole thang, but Fighter seems pretty sweet with them, at least when you're watching.
 
Cute! In the 7th pic the little girl looks like she has 2 black eyes and a long black nose. :D I hope you get a pile of money for her.
