The cold really doesn't seem to bother the piglets. here a group of four of them are on important piglet business. I spotted them when I was doing my welfare check. In this sort of weather, I check to make sure that they have plenty of bedding, liquid water, food and that there's no issues with the animals.
But the red ones charisma is overwhelming, and off they go on piglet business.
And back at home, these two piglets eat all the food.

Important piglet business huh? Hahaha I LOVE it!
How old are these little critters? They look fit!
I think they're just at 6 weeks old.
Do you castrate your piglets, and if you don't how do you raise them to market weight in groups with just other boar pigs or in mixed groups with gilts?
I do castrate the piglets; the market in this area demands that I do. once a year or so I'll see a particularly good looking boar pig and I'll raise it to see what the adult looks like, as a potential breeding boar, and look at the animal when it's a young adult, but that's pretty rare. Less than 1% a year.
