Bad Storm = too much water

Last night's storm dumped way too much water way to fast here.  In between storm one and two I went out to check all the huts for flooding and had one hut flooded.  Skittish just had babies yesterday morning (10 new little ones) her hut had standing water in it.  Dan and I had to open up her pen and move her hut to a dry area.  Most of you would think this is no big deal but what you don't know is pigs are major creatures of habit.  They absolutely hate change!

We got her to go into the dry hut easily enough but the piglets kept laying back down where the hut originally was.  "This is where I was born and this is where I belong".  Yes, if you listen you can hear them speak to you.  It took Dan and I about 15 minutes to get them to go into the dry hut.  It took so long because you cannot pick them up and move them, you kind of have to shoe them in.  If you pick up a piglet it squeals and then mom comes after you.  Yes that happened a few times last night.  I can tell you, you do not want a 400 lb angry sow coming after you.  She can and will do major damage.

Thankfully that was the only hut that had to be moved.  Now the sun is shining and all is quite and calm
