Spring has brought new life to Train Whistle Farm, after a little piggie with a simple name took on a big role.

A pig born on the farm in April 2023 named ‘Girl’ surprised farmers early Wednesday morning when she gave birth to her first litter - five healthy piglets.

The team at Train Whistle Farm, located just south of Burk’s Falls, shared the news on social media with an enthusiastic “Surprise!” and an update that all five piglets were “dried off and nursing” before staff discovered the new arrivals.

“She did a phenomenal job,” the post added.

The five piglets with their colourful appearances are already capturing the hearts of many, with one person commenting on the announcement with “they need an awwww button.” Another posted, “Oh goodness, cuteness overload.” Three of the new additions are black and white, while the other two are the classic farmyard pink.

What makes the event even more special is Girl’s backstory. She was the only female in a litter of six born to a sow named Bella two years ago. The farm simply named her “Girl” - a light-hearted decision at the time, which is now part of her charming legacy.

Fans of the farm can follow updates through Train Whistle’s Facebook page, where the team promises “an overload of piglet pictures.”
