Happy & contented mum, the piglets are gorgeous  ;D
Did she farrow in an ark that you moved to take the picture, rather than outside ?

Hello,

The nest you can see is where she farrowed.

She, the litter and the aunties have now been moved to the field shelter (for the exmoors) as it's very blowy and wet this weekend.
The exmoors don't mind one bit.


Cheers

Gavin

Hi gavo

not related to the subject but

i'm thinking of servicing the tams i got off yea next month or the month after (they will be 9/10 months old) was thinking of AI one with a tam and putting the other to a boar for crossbreeding. my thinking is i'll keep some of the pure breeds and eat the cross breeds (cross breeding as they will grow faster than the pure). i know u provide a servicing service but the thoughts of a trip back down to fermanagh is a little off putting but not ruled out. would you have any suggestions

cheers

Relic, try crossing tams with GOS, absolutely superb meat and wonderful bacon.
