We still had a foot of snow on the ground at the farm in Wrenshall last I checked, but the onions and leeks are doing well in their trays, and the piglets got to go outside for the first time yesterday at their current home in Iowa. It’s a little warmer there, and my parents reported that the pigs wanted out! My parents let them out into a small pen outside the “farrowing house” for a while. As you can see in the video below, the piggies were quite captivated by all the new smells on the ground there. My dad said they’re growing very fast — he’s making sure they get plenty of iron so they stay healthy. Thanks, Dad, and thanks for the video, Mom.
It looks like we could name several of these guys “Spot!”
Stone's Throw Farm 
They’re growing so quickly! I’m envious of them… they don’t have to wade through snow!
