After a weeks delay because of the rain we've had, we finally got Adelaide & the piglets out in the field today - thought you might like to see them  ;)
Glentarki - the brown gilt is your wee girl, isn't she pretty ?  :love:

Can I blame the unseasonally warm weather and late time?  :D

They're gorgeous, especially that little brown one!

They're lovely, Karen. They remind me what our boys were like when they were still little, and not the big boys they're fast becoming.

Thanks Helen,
Yeah, I managed to crop out the pen next door where the Large Blacks, Berkshires and 6 month old Kunes are, cos they have dug (and dug and dug) - it looks like a mud pit  :o But they're moving to bigger fields in the next week or so once I get the electric fence rigged up  ;)
But you can see that even in 'Dads' field there's plenty of grass - another huge advantage to KK's  ;) ;D ;D ;D

Loosey, once you've had piglets (well, not you but the pig - you know what I mean !) I think you have a refound respect for your pig and could spend HOURS in the pen with them all  :love: :pig: :love: ;D

they are just like our litter! black mum, 1 brown, 2 tri and then a mixture of blacks and b/w!  i think (if its the same adelaide) she may be related to my pigs, is she a "brucklay" jenny or awakino?

She's Tillykeira Awakino and dad is Brucklay Te whangi  ;D
I'm hoping, if she goes to my little 'Andrew' boar (ginger) that I'll get some more tri-colours, but we'll just have to wait and see  ;)
I'm keeping a black & white gilt (with 2 piri's  ;D) from this litter to breed with him too, as well as my brown gilt that I kept from the last litter - she's got the most amazing gold trim to her ears  ;) ;D
Ooooooh ! Can't wait til next year  ;D :wave:
