Today was a busy and fun day.  The weather was cool and sunny and we took the piglets from their mommies and put them in their own pen.  This was the first time that the three litters have met and it was very funny to watch!  At first they were confused and then excited to be in a different place.  After the new wore off, they started fighting with each other and then exhausted, took a nap.  Here are a few pictures of them.  They are all 4 weeks old and plenty old enough to be on their own now.  It is so amazing to watch how fast they grow and to see their personalities come out.

The piglets are checking out their new digs....
