One
of our sows had a litter of piglets with a very special piggy. This particular little pig grew wider and
fatter than any of his brothers and sisters.
Adam was sure the piglet could win a blue ribbon at the county
fair. When the piggys were about six
weeks old our vet, Gary Daley, was at our place taking care of some
calves. When Adam mentioned how fat the
little pig was Gary
gave him a checkup.
In near disbelief Gary
told us the reason the piggy was so huge compared to the others was that he was
missing an exit for waste. Let me put this
as delicately as I can, the little pig didn’t have a butt hole. Please excuse me but I don’t know how else to
say it. Gary fixed the piggy and made him what he was
missing. That little piggy pooped for
the entire afternoon. He was still
pooping when we had to leave the corral that evening.
Adam couldn’t wait for morning to come. He wanted to check on the pig. At first he said he couldn’t find the little guy. When he did the poor little pig had turned
from the fattest of the litter to the runt.
Adam’s dream of winning a blue ribbon with a pig that
summer disappeared.
