well guys - the getting of the pigs actually turned into quite a saga. Two days before getting them i contacted the Pig man again - he seemed a little....not evasive, but just not very forth coming with info. By then he said he didn't think he had the female saddlebacks that i wanted....he thought he might have some saddleback boys, he may have saddleback crosses....it was all very uncertain!! he thought he had a selection between 5-8weeks etc etc.....I got a bad feeling about it and therefor all of a sudden thought to go with my instincts and look elsewhere - so i contacted a breeder of OSB....He was SO nice, sent me some photo's, chatted and couldn't have been more helpful if he tried, his aren't ready for another 4 weeks......So, to cut a long story short, we went to the first place purely because we'd booked the day off and had arranged with the man, but we had intended on saying that they weren't for us if we were unhappy - that was a HUGE mistake, because we just couldn't have left without taking some home, to give them a better life. We took 3 of his older weaners, that he thinks are 8 weeks old - they're landrace x large white, (i think with a bit of saddleback thrown in!)
So....we left and agreed we wouldn't be going back there in the future, and learnt a lesson with pigs - follow your instincts and that we shouldn't have gone because it actually guaranteed we'd take something home.
Never the less, i am happy with my piglets, they will have a very happy wee life here. They are now, for the first time, outside in daylight, rooting already and enjoying their first experience of grass. I'm pretty certain they need wormed, but i'm also certain that the life albeit relatively short, that they have here will be better than where they could be now.
I will more than likely go back to the OSB breeder, and possibly take 2 of them as well, as it was a pure and traditional breed that i actually wanted. Anyway, they'll be happy little piggies, and i'm sure they will taste just grand
