How do you weigh a piglet?

By pigwhisperer, October 30, 2009

In a bag, of course. We weighed three of Mona’s brood today. We’re keeping the three biggest, longest piglets which we have named Red, Pinks, and Spots. The other piglets will be sold, which means they’ll be raised and fattened on other farms. Here’s Red, chillin’ in her weigh bag. She weighed a whopping 14 kilos (around 30 lbs), which is great for a 45-day-old pig. Once the piglets get in the bag, they are amazingly calm. Maybe they feel swaddled?
