Miss Rooten Tooten.. A maybe new member of our Critters..

 

Well, with Miss Piggy heading into motherhood and getting as big as she is, I am really giving thought to adding in a little female potbelly pig to use as a) a miss piggy friend, pigs are very much herd animals and I don’t plan on keeping back any of her offspring and b) as my piggy garden plow, its a little female I am looking at, and will never outgrow my moveable garden box with shelter set up for my garden plow pig, if I get her, I am going to call her Miss Rooten Tooten.. Aka Tooties for short and for training.

Her mother is a full size pot belly pig, and her father is a mini pot belly pig, so this means I don’t have quite as much information on her adult size as I would like, she could take after her mom, she could take after her dad or she could meet anywhere in the middle, but I still have a good idea of both end sizes. She comes from a  natural born litter of five wee ones, all are doing well, she is just over two months in age, and she is used to be a outdoor and pasture piglet, but is friendly and interested in that smart piggy way.

She is the plainest of all the piglets but as I got to look them over, she has the best conformation of them all, maybe not the right conformation for a pot belly pig itself, because I don’t know what to look for it that regards. Some of her siblings have white feet, white spots  and or blazes.. so they were perhaps more pretty..

But she has the best legs, feet, nice straighter back, good neck and shoulder set , the less etreme face, good under jaw, very natural in her looks and movements, she had the best coat of all of them.. I like her .. and I liked the look in her eyes that spoke of just how “there” she is..

We are in the cool off, sleep on it, wait 24 hours stage and think on it..
