Perhaps with folks spending more time at home, eating even more meals together, the phrase, “Don’t Eat Like a Pig” has been repeated more often.
There are many disparaging sayings that reference pigs, some I believe are unwarranted. And for years of raising pigs, I even thought this one was a bit overstated.
Then came Grizabella, a lovely Large Black Sow we bought as a youngster from Hogwash Farm. She defines the source and meaning of this phrase.
When we have multiple sows & litters of piglets together, it is evident around eating time which piglets are hers, they get marked with her meal.
This week we came into a load of organic milk (due to a minor truck accident, driver is fine, milk boxes were not), which we shared with the sows and it just highlighted Grizabella’s eating style.
So Laura captured these images at chores and we figured all could use some amusing visuals.
