He is adorable!
He *is* adorable. And yet.
Today we went out to feed them and their water tank, a 100-gallon black plastic stock tank, was sitting upright on the wrong side of the fence. We contemplated it for a moment. Clearly, it had gotten messed with, and shoved. But… how? Why? It’s not like they’d flipped it, which is more usually what happens, or they were scratching itches on it and dumped it over. Oh well, we had to go feed them before they freaked out.
But when Farmsister went to set the waterer back up, she noticed what had happened. I won’t discuss the specific and gross details, but she looked down at the two wooden shipping pallets the waterer had been set on (so the pigs could get at the spout at the bottom; they’re too short to drink from the top of the tank like horses and cattle do), and said:
“Oh, he fucked it.”
Yes, it was disgustingly, abundantly clear that PB had actually fucked the water tank off the pallets and straight over the fence.
It’s a good sign, it means he’s done his job and the sows are pregnant and thus no longer standing for him. But it’s incredibly gross.
