A New Look ....

We are already 2 weeks old and have had quite the life experience.   If  you don't already know we lost our mom 'Pinky' earlier this week.  But, please don't worry about us we are all doing fine and growing at a rapid pace thanks to Mikayla and the FFA team.  Today was a crazy day... Mr. Allen's classes were able to dock all our tails.

Tail docking is performed to prevent tail biting and cannibalism among pigs. Tail docking should be performed as early as possible, but by 14 days of age.   Mr. Allen decided today was the day for the tail docking to take place.  Below is some great information on the process.


 
It didn't really hurt but we are all very glad that is over.  Everyone is looking so darn nice... It is like getting a new hair cut!  The next big event for us is ear notching.  We heard Mr. Allen say that would be next week sometime.  We will share that information with all of you once it happens.
