Grandma had them in the good living room and my thought (now that I am older) is Grandpa either wanted to play a trick or wasn't thrilled they were there because he said, "Kids, I think your aunts would like to see the new babies. Why don't you put some in a basket and carry them down there to them?" Well, we thought it was a great idea, too - - because we were ages 10 and younger. We got in the "good" living room; set the basket down; and the piglets proceeded to run all over. Grandma was not happy!!! But she knew it wasn't our idea!<br />Did I already tell you that last year?<br />And THANKS for the info on the Angus. That was very interesting!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084827514073795378.post-16033771388806185782011-04-14T05:09:16.118-05:002011-04-14T05:09:16.118-05:00I love the pics of the little ones holding the bab...I love the pics of the little ones holding the babies.

It would be wonderful if most people could have their own farms (instead of the concrete jungle we have all over the country) and raise their own food. I think it would give them a new appreciation for their food, and the animals would be treated so much better and humanely, too. And gee, those little piglets are just the cutest little things! My uncle had a hog farm when I was a child and I loved going there... playing with baby pigs is so much fun!<br /><br />XOXO,<br /><br />CyndiCyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390176368906851223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6084827514073795378.post-31486069301766841522011-04-13T10:27:35.081-05:002011-04-13T10:27:35.081-05:00I did not know about the red either.This was very ...I did not know about the red either.This was very interesting to me. <br />I wish we could raise our own meat too.

We raised Hefers and Holstines. I have often found myself teaching Papa whom was raised in a small town not really familular with farm animals all about them as I was rasied on a farm. I do miss it and all the animals, one day Papa said we will have our own hobby farm with all the animals we love. Have a great day !Country Gal https://www.blogger.com/profile/08693944554850315123noreply@blogger.com
