New Arrivals
« on: February 13, 2011, 08:34:08 pm »
 ;D ;D ;D ;D
Picked up our 3 new residents for the smallholding  ;D ;D
3 GOS x OSB, females, 10 weeks old
Their names are:
Goldie
RC (right cheek)
BC (black chest)

Very sweet - amazingly soft noses which I was quite surprised at, given that practically the first thing they did when they got here was to bury their heads up to their ears in mud!

From our experiences last year (when the 4 boar new arrivals didn't find the ark for the first couple of days and I was freaking out) we let them out of the dog crate (transport) straight into the ark. Job done  ;D

They came out of the ark at 9.15am this morning so they obviously had a good sleep  :D :D

Thank you Hillhead  ;D

Hi

We are so happy that you are pleased with the girls.  The two boys came out this morning and had a look around but do not appear to be missing them to much.  They certainly look happy in their new surroundings. :wave:
