They look great. You must be well chuffed. Congratulations - first litter is always the most nerve-racking. You'll be fine next time!

Beewyched, these are our first Mangalitza's so i am unsure of the colours of the piggies at mo, i know there are 2 reds and i can work out the blondes, i take it the ones that have the more prominate lines could be the swallow? Some help would be great, all i know is that i have 10 very healthy looking piglets, not been in and sexed them yet, trying to let mum just get on with it.

Yep, looks like it Nails - not an expert myself, just that my OH was looking at Mangals before we decided to go with KKs.

Talk about an amazing start to your breeding programme - all you need now is for them all to be gilts  ;D
