Well, she had us all hanging on as usual  and did it in the middle of the night again   
But Adelaide has had her piglets - 10 little boars and gilts all doing well so far  We've a mix of black and white, ginger and black and plain black  There were two that were still born unfortunately  but as she's only got 10 teats and has struggled with the bigger litters in the past, I'm still very, very happy 

Here's a quick picture, more to come in the next few days  And if anyone is looking for Kunekune piglets in Scotland, just drop me a pm or email [email protected]

They are gorgeous. I want one of the gingers, shame you're at the other end of the country


How many piglets have you got altogether now? Sounds like a handful!

Shhhhh, don't let the OH hear you 
There are 42 piglets in total here at Yonderton at the moment (but they do range in age from 8 weeks to 8 hours  ) it's not that many really  (in the grand scheme of things, when you count up all the rest that are here  )
I think I will have to be a bit ruthless this summer, cut back a wee bit and also not offer to take on any more 'rescues' for the forseeable  ...........maybe

42 !!!!!!


That's sounds like a lot of fun...and a lot of hard work. Would love to see a pic of your whole gang when you get a chance!

[HappyHippy]

Tis a lot of work  especially because they're all inside with their 6 respective mum's. But we've got a good penning system sorted now so it only takes around an hour and a half to feed and clean them all in the morning and a quick half hour feeding them at night 
If the weather improves enough they'll all get out together in the big field before they're weaned, but it's not looking very likely  But if they're all out and it's a sunny day you can bet on photo's BEB, I love showing off my piggies

Congratulations and well done to Adelaide

I bet there's quite some noise at feed time! Do you wear ear plugs?!

No  They're actually not that bad 
I used to be able to sneek to the shed in and do a pen at a time, so by the time they realised I was there they already had food and no need to shout  But then the blimming cows arrived  Jack is tall enough to see me coming in to the shed and his moo's alert the pigs now - but it's still more just grunting, they must be too well fed

Wonderful
