A trio of piglets follow the sow to the feeding line Friday in one of the pastures at Iron Farms east of Kilgore. The little pigs will spend their lives grazing on pasture, instead of never seeing the light of day in a confinement operation, before being butchered for the table free of hormones and antibiotics.
