Can pigs smile?

by Katie


Everything about the pigs these days says happy, happy, happy. They've emerged from near-hibernation in the heavy summer heat to a life of constant activity rediscovering their pasture, wrestling with each other, and of course, making trouble.
The pigs pictured here are pushing 225 lbs of porcine muscle, perfect for upending shade structures and chewing through feed tubs, but these kinds of things are expected and planned for. It's hard to be too frustrated when we look up from structure repairs to see them barking and staging foot races around us.
