Post by: Mel on June 12, 2011, 01:48:17 pm
Hi all  :wave: ,

We have just collected our weaner's and they are beautiful!!! we have six 10 week old GOS/Berkshire crosses.They are really great,quite heavy for their ages,have been wormed etc though appear a little dubious and somewhat stressed at the moment,running around the field like no tomorrow.They do seem happier now with their grunting  :D

I shall send in some pics asap-it is really wet here today so I shall wait for a good day!

Absolutely delighted..Now we are getting some where :)

Our 6 month old GOS x OSB gilts have decided to take advantage of the wetter ground and are digging to Australia  :D :D
