National Pig Day: Hog Haven Farm at Resolute Brewing Company

The pigs were out in force at Resolute Brewing on Wednesday, March 1 — which just happened to be National Pig Day. While humans enjoyed beers on the Centennial brewery's patio, rescued pigs from Hog Haven Farm in eastern Colorado paraded their pot bellies and posed for pictures. Hog Haven provides a sanctuary for pigs rescued from neglect, abandonment and slaughter, often finding new homes for the animals they take in and rehabilitate. Representatives of the nonprofit organization were on hand to provide education about pigs as pets and as smart and curious creatures. Resolute pitches in by providing spent grain as pig feed.
