Looks like we'll have plenty of bacon and pork chops!
Just for fun, here's our current group of pigs or;
A group of pigs is called drove of pigs, herd of pig or litter of pigs. A group of pigs can also be collective known as farrow though it is often used to refer to a group of piglets while sounder of pigs is a term given to a group of wild pigs. (from Ask.com)
How many of you actually new they could be called a drove, herd, farrow, or sounder? Learn something new everyday!!!
I did know they could be called a herd as that is what I have always known them to be called but the rest of the terms were new to me....thanks for the ag lesson....lol
ReplyDeleteI didn't. Looks like are fattening up nicely!
ReplyDeleteIzzy,
ReplyDeleteI've learned something new, I had no idea a group of pigs could be called all of these names.
Sorry it's all boys but I envy all that yummy pork and bacon. We need pigs but I'm not willing to pay $200 to $300 per piglet, which seems to be what folks think weaner pigs are worth around here. I like your "trivia" too; interesting and things I need to learn!
