Heres my latest litter;

 Having called my farrier to trim my sows toenails (they were too long and too tough for me) he called in yesterday, got her down for a belly rub where she lay happily, whilst having her pedicure, almost done and the first piglet arrived!
she went on to have 13 in total with 1 stillborn, I tried everything I could but it was sadly not to be, the rest are doing well and mum is loving every minute, what a fantastic evening, aren't pigs wonderful :pig: ;D

I think piglets are possibly the cutest animals alive.  Full grown pigs on the other hand... well, not quite so cute!
