Title: got me pigs
Post by: langdon on July 13, 2010, 09:34:10 pm

got me pigs today - GOOD TIMES.

the little buggers got through the fence when they first arrived! but with a little bit of food ere and ere and me crouching
nearby they seem to now have settled down( i hope  :D )
they are brittish saddleback boars.
and they really do look up to know good!
looking forward to the next 6 mths.

great news.  hopefully getting 2 tamworth x saddlebacks in a couple of weeks.  much bigger than our last 2 which were berkshires so a lot different to get used to i think

Luckly you would love to have some more pigs but after our last lot(the third lot) kept escaping the OH said no more pigs this year oh how i miss them but the silly very silly thing he said was i could have as many sheep as i liked,think he may be regreting that now as im up to 25 with more coming next week.
