We raised thousands of hogs back when I was a kid and my only income until I was about 20 years old was from pigs I raised. Your pictures bring back some memories, thanks. Some things I miss and some things I don't.
I miss seeing a bunch of little baby pigs all lined up on momma, who'll lay on her side to give the pigs "access". The sow will grunt away, in a way that comforts her pigs. Each baby pig will claim his own teat and that will be the only one he'll use until he's weaned.
One of the things I don't miss is that smell on your hands after you've castrated a bunch of pigs. It just doesn't wash off. 
We just put 800 lbs. of meat in the freezers from a calf we fattened. I've threatened to buy a couple pigs and fatten them out but the wife has given me some static on that, lol.
