Title: Swim piggy, swim!
Post by: ambriel on July 18, 2011, 08:32:42 pm

Did anyone else see the story in Friday's Press & Journal about the two pigs from Gairloch?

Great story!

We have had 8 week old piglets swimming in our pond.  We let mum out into a field from farrowing shed with them whilst we cleaned, and she went over to the pond and started to wallow at the edge.  Piglets just followed her in and started to swim around.

But 1/2 mile is a bit different !
