Ride Along! Meishan Pig & Piglets Water Check June 23, 2024

Join Laura Jensen as she checks on part of her Meishan herd in the front pasture. Especially momma sow Daisy and her piglets.
Warning! Cute piglets in wallow in this video!
Laura talks about her pigs, what’s happening next, where they catch them, strategies she uses to catch them, and more in a ride-a-long journey.

Hi, thạnhk🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@allthingsgrowing]

Its a green crab spider. Good to have around. They eat mosquitos, wasps even flies.

[@meishanpreservation]

Thank you!!! Cool name for a cool emitted spider!

[@allthingsgrowing]

Hey Laura, dumb question. In the beginning you said something about pulling off. Can you explain a bit about what you are talking about?

[@meishanpreservation]

Not dumb at all! Are you talking about pulling piglets off Daisy?

[@allthingsgrowing]

@@meishanpreservation yes.

[@jensenreserve]

@@allthingsgrowing OK! That's slang for removing the piglets or weaning the piglets from the sow. Thanks for asking! ~laura (P.S. I've been told that my southern slang creates it's own language - and that I should give folks a cheat sheet to talk to me at times! lol)

[@allthingsgrowing]

@jensenreserve5293 that's what I thought. Ty for taking the time to answer

[@boogiekang619]

Do you show them

[@meishanpreservation]

I do not as my kids are grown. There is great progress being made in the show ring with the first Meishan Specific class in the country happening last week in PA. Follow Blue Hill Registered Meishans for the journey - also on our FB pages - Make Mine Meihsan Pigs and the American Meishan Breeders Association Forum. ~laura

@@boogiekang619 I've found that those things vary from area to show. The Meishan does will in showmanship it seems - winning several small shows against AOB's!
