The little one with the dirty face (smiling for the camera!) is the only girl ... we need a name for her!

I quite like Rosie and Ruby ... I'm not sure whether we might go for another floral name ... I quite like violet too! :wave:

Did you use a boar or AI

A boar Yankie Girl ... and he was only 5 months old ... a bit of an unplanned pregnancy, but a nice suprise! :)

We have 2 gilts.  Want to breed in January of next year.  We are currently looking for someone who has a boar when the time comes.  Most people use AI around here.

Your piggies are so cute!
