Everybody say Awwwwwww
« on: June 17, 2012, 07:30:24 pm »
Large Black piglets arriving as I type  :o  We didn't think Grumpy had been got by Bonking Bob - seems he got in there quick on the day he arrived and caught her right at the end of her season, we thought we'd timed it perfectly for July too  ::) 
8 so far, we lost count at 4 boars, 2 gilts - not sure how the current score stands  :-\
So a quick pic to tug at the heart strings  :innocent:

Still 8 Julia, but not bad for a first litter I think. All piglets doing well and Large Black mum seems to be showing OSB tendancies and rooting through the straw to locate piglets before lying down (my older LB sow doesn't do this ?) I was a bit worried as she's a first time mum and was affectionately known as Psyco until recently  :o   :D  Not a nasty pig - but if you want her to go one way, she'll go the other  ::)  Go near her in the field with a pig board and she used to start running in circles  :D  Here's hoping motherhood will settle her down (a bit)  :fc: 
 
Thanks for all the congratulations folks  :-*

Well done Mrs and Grumpy & Bob too.
Motherhood normally settles them down and i found the more of a diva they are the better mums they are, they sort of go all mumsy.
All the best, fingers crossed for some better weather for them. been dreak for a week here!

Aw  :)


Still waiting for ours...  Your pic just makes me even more impatient.  Do you think if I squeeze her they might start arriving?!  :D
