As cold as it may sound, we are getting used to it. With livestock comes dead stock especially when it comes to animal husbandry! Not the first loss and I'm sure it won't be the last but we're blessed to have the 4 happy and healthy! Need any pigs? Cuz I gotta sell a couple 🤣🤣
@@homegrownshow Indeed, it seems to get a little easier with each loss. I have been kicking around the idea of getting some 4 legged excavators, but maybe next year. If I could find some Idaho pasture pigs hmmm.
In rescue,when an animal is very cold/hypothermic,the term is they are not dead until they are warm and dead. The baby should have immediately been put into under a heat lamp,on a heat pad(with blankets) or even in some warm water. As with humans,skin to skin also works.When warm I know the old timers would often suggest rubbing a bit of molasses on the gums. Once warm feeding can be started. I would also suggest bedding the other piggies in straw as opposed to hay. Straw is hollow and can refract/retain heat. Hay will just get wet. Having said all this,loss is still inevitable. Congrats on the pigs. Seems they were taught chicken math at school. 😜
@bettinah.7429 we didn't end up filming it but did exactly that. Heat lamp and blankets. I was hoping the vitamin be would give him a jump at least to hold on. But it did look like the Lil fella may have been trampled by mama. It happens but sad nonetheless!
Sorry about your loss. Congrats on your new babies!
