Title: New Arrivals

Finally our Berkshire gilt Tink has given birth to her piglets. 10 of them. I'm particularly pleased as it was our first AI attempt. All seem healthy and active, though a couple of them are pretty small. Not a great pic but I will post a better one soon.

She's turning out to be a good mum too. Attentive, careful but she has no problem with us being around. Quite surprising when she's such a madam when brimming!

Great to get a good-sized litter from your first go at AI. Well done.

Now the fun begins...

You do know that little piglets can get themselves through/under/over pretty much any barrier...  ;D
