Pig

Harriet

Rescue-versary: March 27, 2022

Came from a small Utah farm raising blonde-mangalitsa pigs for show, breeding, or meat. She was found belly-deep in a muddy pool of feces when we rescued her. Two months after we rescued her, she surprised us by giving birth to four piglets. She's the best mother to them, and even sang to them when they were babies as they would nurse off of her.

Personality: The first to find you for belly rubs and the last to leave your side. Loves exploring the pasture and bathing in the wallow.

Fruit and vegetable scraps pigs happily root through, plus the occasional special treat.

Water~$8/mo

Pigs drink several gallons a day and love a wallow to cool off in summer.

Veterinary & hoof care~$35/mo
