Title: Possibly the best birthday present ever ? (piglet pic )
Post by: HappyHippy on September 09, 2011, 03:15:23 pm

Yup, you've guessed it  ;)
Loppy pig (Large Black) decided to wait til her mammy got home to have her piglets  ;D
2 were born yesterday (before midnight) and the other 5 were born today (my birthday) don't know how many gilts/boars yet, will check on that tomorrow.
Sadly we had one still born - massive piglet, stuck sideways right at the end after all the afterbirth :(
Daddy was a Mangalitza - but so far they're all looking like little Large Blacks.
If anyone is looking for winter weaners I'm near Lanark and they'll be ready to go in around 8-9 weeks just drop me a pm  ;)
Thought you might like a photo  ;) There will be more on Fb later  ::) ;D ;D ;)
