River

Born here June 2, 2022

Born June 2, 2022, one of four piglets born to Harriet just two months after we rescued her, a total surprise.

Personality: Loves hanging out with volunteers, taking care of others, and getting belly rubs.

What sponsoring River supports

Estimated monthly cost of care, based on typical Park City, Utah-area pricing for feed, bedding, and veterinary care. Costs are shared across the herd or flock, so figures below are per-animal averages, not itemized invoices.

Feed & grain~$55/mo

About 150 lb a month of pig feed. Pigs are big eaters and need a balanced grain ration daily.

Straw bedding~$20/mo

Deep straw bedding for their favorite pastime: nesting and burrowing in for a nap.

Produce & treats~$20/mo

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

Routine exams, vaccinations, hoof and tusk trims, plus a reserve for the unexpected.

Shelter & yard upkeep~$20/mo

Sturdy shelter and yard maintenance. Pigs are strong and hard on fencing and bedding areas.

Estimated total cost of care~$158/month
