Fantastic news Julie  ;D and congratulations to Ellen  ;)
I'm so glad you got your boiler fixed too - nothing worse than being colder inside the house than out !

If you send them to slaughter at Easter maybe they'll come back to life 3 days later!  Twice the pork!!......Sorry ;)

Thank you everyone   :)

The piglets are doing well.  Unfortunately lost one of the 13.......but 12 is still good for a first time Mum, so very happy.

Sexed the first litter yesterday......7 girls and 2 boys.
 :love: :pig: :love:


Thought you might like to see a couple of the younger ones saying hello to one of the older ones in the snow this morning.

Aah, they are lovely. Are you please with the gender mix? I find it hard to slaughter anything female but generally have no problem with males (Dickie excepted).
