Got 3 Middle white x weaners on Monday and 3 Oxford Sandy & Black weaners on Tuesday and they,ve all settled in fine. After a couple of days "electrified" around Piggy Towers they now have the freedom of 4 acres :) How big is that for short pigs ;D They are funny to watch as they move around like a little pack. You could almost throw a blanket over them at any time. Will get our first two back from the butcher on Tuesday and then we will get our first meal. I can just hear the kids now when I ask them if they think this is Charlie or Billy ;) Haven't got a web site yet, but there are some pics at www.myspace.com/smileypigs. Click on "pics", although you may have to log in ??? ??? Not sure

It really is piggy paradise for us all at the moment. I just love them when they get to the 8 week age - they are so naughty and their characters are really coming through by then. Just think a whole summmer to enjoy them and then hit the autumn and start to worry that their time is getting nearer. It is all ups and downs, but we still keep doing it. We are a dotty lot!
