Sadly, we are down to one 4-H pig. We had pig weigh-in on Saturday when every 4-H pig is taken to a scale downtown to be weighed and tagged. Nicole's pig, Pickle, somehow hurt his back in the process. We talked to the vet yesterday and she said to give him aspirin and hope for the best. Last night he could no longer stand up. This morning he was dead.
It's always sad to lose an animal, but unfortunately, it's also part of the process of having animals. Nicole has been given the option of getting another pig or switching to a lamb project. Lamb was really what she wanted to take in the first place, so I think we'll be in the lamb business soon.
Rest in peace, Pickle.
