Title: Who's a Big Boy now then
Post by: Beewyched on April 02, 2011, 07:55:01 pm

Just moved our new (ish) gilts Minnie, Rosie & Gemima out of quarantine today.   Thought they could do with some sunshine on their backs & a ramble down the woods.

Still got our young Yonderton boar, Sos, over here on the paddock with his castrate friend & thought the intros might go a bit easier if everyone met-up over lunch  :D
Well the date went well  ;) - one minute Sos was having an after lunch tummy tickle, next thing ... well let's say 3-months, 3-weeks & 3-days - guess Minnie's gonna be a mum  ;D

That's my boy  ;) ;D ;D ;D (and Bruce was very proud when I told him too)
Great news, but don't go counting your pig eggs until you're sure she doesn't return to season in 3 weeks time, though going by the details during the phonecall I don't think that's going to happen  ;) ;D :wave:
