She Did It! Myrtle Had Her Piglets!
It has been a long day on the homestead! Our Idaho Pasture Pig Sow Myrtle had her piglets in the middle of the night on one of the coldest days of the year!

****** About Living Traditions Homestead ******
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 2 new videos every week! Wednesday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we give up the rat race and live simpler, more fulfilling life in the country.

It's normal for the sow to shiver for quite a while after giving birth. It's not because of the temperature. Last night it got down to 12 degrees outside and we left the babies having free range of the pen all night. We checked our camera every couple hours and the babies went back and forth between the lights and Myrtle. Myrtle has been up eating and drinking and this morning everyone is alive and doing well.
@M&G Wood, yes, my sentiments exactly. I shivered uncontrollably after all three babies, I birthed. I don't think there is a single muscle in the body that doesn't get used during the birthing process. It's shear exhaustion and the body's way of calming back down
Lol I was just about to ask that. Lol
Kevin and Sarah we are blessed to have your homestead to follow.....keep up the good work!
Congrats that's awesome. That brought me great memories, of when my grandpa had a farm and we had piglets and that's that's awesome🎊🎉 congratulations 🥰❤
I have a question. Is there anything you regret about leaving the rat race behind.
So cute it makes me cry. So adorable.
They are so cute specially the spotted one.
How is the piglets doing👞
I noticed you all used a torch to burn the ground cover. Can you tell me what kind it is?
Cute pigs! Catching up on some old videos! We're hoping to get Idaho pasture pigs soon!!
God bless you in that super cold weather!!

thank you how beautiful amazing video congrads,
How adorable I LOVE piglets they grow up to be the cutest animals ever.❤️❤️❤️❤️
My husband said he had a friend that raised pigs and the best way to get big litters is to keep them dry and warm from the time they come into heat. This friend kept his sows in a barn, changed the bedding daily to keep it clean, made sure they were plenty warm and basically babied them. He lived in Minnesota and always had the biggest litters around. Just thought I'd pass the info along. Love your videos!
Babies pigs awesome!!!!
How cute!
Oh! I love the little spotted one! I grinned through the whole video. The miracle of life always brings joy. 💜💛
I'm waiting to see how the piglets are doing and what's going on with you guys
Someone has their memory distorted about banding pigs....go study up😂
They are so cute
Cool! But you need way more hay in there than what you have currently no?
Congratulations 5 piggy's.. nice
If they knew the were going to be pork chops the probably wouldn’t want to be born.
Congratulations on healthy births.
Awesome watch. Ty for sharing
I love love love these piggies!! I hope you keep the little girl. Excited we get to watch them on your channel
Myrtle did an Amazing Job..Her Babies are all Cute as can be..😍
They are so tiny compared to momma! Very adorable.
Do you guys have sponsors for your videos? If not he should get some sponsors... there's a gal named "emmymade" she does videos & has sponsors maybe you could hook up with her sponsors
It amazes me how good on their feet they are.
I think the female is so cute. Actually all the babies are so cute. Have a great week 😀
Little Foss and Big Halsey!
Gorgeous piglets! Blessings to all life!
Awww Congratulations
Aw.. you shouldn't ever give personal names to animals you intend to eat someday. Use names like BLT or Ham Samich to paint a clear picture in your head about what you're doing, and to keep feelings out of it. If this is just a breeding sow that you never intend to eat.. feel free to tell me to go jump in a hog wallow. ;) Cute piglets, by the way. A girl I went to elementary school with made up the name hoglets. I always thought that that was cute. :)
I really hate to say this but your stud boar needs to go if he can't bring in atlest 10 🐖 something wrong I raised pigs and my first 🐗 brought in 14 pigs per sow my second boar brought in ten 🐖 at 6 months old just saying
What’s the lump on that spotted ones head by it ear? Was my eyes just seeing things?
I can’t wait to see the babies. 🤗
Love your channel! Please feel free to check out my homestead here in Ohio!
Beautiful babies...the Princess is gorgeous...Happy mama and babies are well!!
Congratulations!
Just love having piglets. They're so cute and the snorting they make is so adorable. Glad they survived the cold!
Those are Kune Kune pigs aren´t they?
Just Googled, there is KuneKune material in them.
5 means God's Grace, which is a good hope for your future hog raising
Hello, wanted to know how your hoop chicken coop worked out in the snow and cold? I was impressed with the build and coverings.
Congratulations on the piglets...looks like great babies
Aloha from Maui! Those piglets are so adorable. Stay warm and safe! Quick question. I have organic potatoes that are sprouting. Given our abundant rain and sunshine could I use them as seed potatoes? I don’t need a huge crop. Mahalo Nancy LOVE YOU GUYS❤️
Awwww...so cute! My pig had 6 about 2 weeks ona very cold night and yep we stayed up to make sure everything was ok. All 6 are so cute and doing great!
Enjoy watching
💖
So beautiful!
Congrats!🎉
Congratulations!!

What is your best tomatoes that you grow
The piglets are adorable!!
So cute, wish I could hold one!!
Is that myrtle snoring? She is the most chill pig! 🐷
Not saying you’d want to... but since you have 4 of 5 male piglets would there be any advantage to neuter the male piglets? Maybe have them more manageable? Maybe better (tender) meat?
Congratulations to you all xxx
They are so cute!
OMG 😱 CONGRATULATIONS PIGLET PARENTS! SO DANG CUTE, THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL BUT MY FAVOURITE IS THE LITTLE GIRL WITH ALL THE PATCHES ON, SO ADORABLE!! WHAT A MIRACLE AND BLESSING TO BE ABLE TO EXPERIENCE THEM COMING INTO THE WORLD, AND WHAT A GOOD MAMMA PIG 🐖

******************CONGRATULATIONS,PIGLETS ,,,WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!************************* I see y'all still have snow too! A foot and a half is a little too much I think,I am glad our is finally starting to melt!****************************
The process of motherhood is amazing no matter what the species
How long were the cattle panels younuse on your hoop coop?? Please and thanks!
I do not know what I am talking about, but I would put the heat lamp over mama and her baby's. They are going to want to stay with her.😊 I m so happy they are so healthy😙
I can't wait to see more of these adorable little piglets!!! I was in trucking school out of state and the highlight of my day was checking to see if Myrtle had her babies. I felt your anticipation. Congratulations!
Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't wait to be a homesteader!!!
Glad all the Piglets are ok they are so cute
Aaawww...look at the snout...they're so darn cute...Stay safe Stay warm
Give mama a blanket
Congratulation on another accomplishment for your Homestead. If I could, I would probably try to talk you out of the sweet baby girl.
Never, never, ever bother a sow when she is having piglets. You make her upset and SHE CAN BECOME VICIOUS!
how are hope and hudson doing?
They are very cute - nice job Myrtle!
Yay‼️🎉 Congrats 💕
Perhaps consider fabricating a 'watch enclosure' for you two for the times birthing happens in the cold, and holds your attention for hours; you could have your 'own' heat lamps and comfortable counter stools, with some sort of back support, and maybe arms, to make the watch more easy on your skeleton. 'People chambers.' : )
Happy birthday little 🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖
Congratulations mama! They are just cute as all get out !
First time litters can be a bit small. Next year should give more bacon seedlings.
Congratulations on the piglets! So glad they’re healthy and mama is too.
The mommy pig kinda cold eh because her legs kinda shakes.
