Pigs at Meadow Farm celebrate first birthday with special cakes

Table of Contents

Staff at Meadow Farm Museum in Glen Allen celebrated the first birthday of the farm's four pigs with special birthday cakes.

"We had a very talented staff member create four different pig-friendly birthday cakes," Jim Weinpress, the manager of Zoology at Henrico County's Division of Recreation and Parks, said. "They were a combination of oatmeal, banana, peanut butter and some scrambled eggs frozen and shaped into some birthday cake shapes. We spread them out so each boy would get his own cake, and then we welcomed them into the pasture, and they did a good job of eating them all in front of everyone."

The pigs have eaten well during their year at the farm.

Weighed in grams when they were first born, the brothers now weigh up to 240 pounds.
