Well, it may have been the fact that we left Alex, the male, in the pen.   Sweetie is making up for it.  The runt piggy got out through the hog fence, and Seth picked her up to replace her and Sweetie got very upset.  Grunt, grunt.  Now, that&#8217;s a good Mom.  Do you grunt when someone commandeers your child? <\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s rhetorical&#8230;you live and learn.  The piglets will be weaned and available for sale around mid September.  American Guinea Hogs are perfect for small homesteads because they don&#8217;t get as big and heavy as regular pigs.  Sweetie probably tops out at 125 lbs. when she is not &#8220;with pig&#8221;.  Alex, the Dad, weighs about 150 lbs.  <\/p>\n<p>Happy Homesteading,<br \/>\nT.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2935\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2935\" style=\"width: 298px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-298x300.png\" alt=\"feather with pig\" width=\"298\" height=\"300\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2935\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-298x300.png 298w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-100x100.png 100w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-300x302.png 300w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig-50x50.png 50w, https:\/\/bentpinefarm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/feather_wPig.png 673w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 298px) 100vw, 298px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2935\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Happy Homesteading<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our American Guinea Hog, Sweetie,\u00a0 finally produced her piggies. \u00a0And they are so cute.
