Winter pigs

This is about all you’ll see of the pigs when it’s cold, unless it’s feeding time. They burrow down in the straw, way in the back of the Port-a-hut. The Port-a-hut sits on the south side of the corncrib and is surrounded by large, stacked up cornstalk bales on the west side. Most animals seem to handle the cold pretty well as long as they have protection from the wind.

This morning it was 6 below, not sure what the wind chill was. When I heard the weatherman say, “The cold weather will arrive this weekend”, I thought…what? You mean this isn’t it? But Sunday’s high – if you can call it that – is going to be zero. So it should be a good day to stay inside and watch the Bears win the Superbowl 🙂
