Welcome Queen Elizabeth (Katelyn calls her “Liz”) to the farm!
She joined us in late August via Texas, courtesy of Nikki, Katelyn’s sister. Liz is a “Juliana Mini” pig. She recently went on a walk to inspect some of the property that was cleared to make way for other animals (that story later). Liz is pink with black spots and course hair.
smart, too. She’s nervous around men (I have theories that involve bacon production) but not so nervous that when I give her a back scratch she will run away. I have yet to meet an animal that doesn’t like back scratches. Liz is no exception. She does make lots of different noises when I give her a scratch, as if to say, “I’m letting you do this under protest.” But she doth not protest too much. Instead, her main noise is a low chuffing sound, which I take to mean “fine. But I’m doing you a favor by letting you give me a back scratch.” We’ll keep you posted on her adventures and what we learn in trying to interpret her noises.
