Title: 1st piglets and proud pigkeeper
Post by: MarthaR on February 01, 2015, 11:41:38 am

My lovely gilt Nancy who I acquired from Marches Farmer had her piglets last night with me sitting alongside her. Seven sturdy spotty ones. Felt the need to share!

Thanks all - they seem to be doing well - oblivious to my peering in and out of the stable every 5 minutes like a mad woman!  They're a little bit addictive although I am hoping they 'discover' the creep with heat lamp soon as my nerves can't take the 'hold your breath' moment when Nancy is prepping to lie down and they're bouncing around all over the place...   :pig: :pig: :thumbsup:
