Oh THANK YOU FLEECEWIFE that cheered me up no end !  ;D ;D ;D
No wonder the auction guys looked knackered !
And the Pietrain sow at the end just looked like she wanted to join in  ;D

That was one of the litter of 'micro' piglets (though there was Kune in there somewhere as some of them had piri's) they were really tiny - about the size of a 2 week old Kune piglet, maybe even smaller. The market just isn't set up for pigs as small as that, but they weren't the only ones, some of the African pygmy goats broke out their pen too. Animals, gotta love 'em !?!

I don't know where you got hold of that FW but I'm glad someone made it and that you posted it!   ;D

Aye, that was one of the very very tiny little piggies; the ones that ran everyone ragged when the pigs were being sold were quite a bit bigger - but just as fast and just as slippery!

And the African pygmy goat got into the ring through the hinges - it was just about the funniest thing I've seen in a ring ever.

We had such a good day out!   ;D ;D
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
