Post by: hunter001 on March 03, 2010, 08:33:24 pm

Hey everyone i just got myself two little barkshire piglets and the guy also let me have the runt of the litter for free. the other piglets had bitten his tail off and my wife fell in love with him.

Well done dixie, our bottle fed runt is at this precise moment asleep on the sofa.  He too quickly outgrew his siblings.
