The family. We are a strange little band of characters trudging through life, sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that binds us all together.

Castrating Piglets

We have put this off way too long and now we are facing the very unpleasant task of castrating much larger piglets.  I watched the dr do this last season, but have never done it myself.  I did find a couple of you tube videos.  The following one is the best so far.  Please understand that you will be seeing someone make an incision on a piglet and removing the testes.  It is not terribly bloody, but it is not for the faint of heart.  I will write more about our experiences after we have actually done it...hopefully by the end of today.
