I have two 5 month old Tamworths currently rotovating my vegetable patch and they are having a grand old time. Today I was startled to see purplish/red mark on one of their faces. And spotted several more as I watched them eating. Had a minor panic thinking they were raised patches or lesions and the dreaded ery. That was until I walked across the patch to my truck to get my headtorch and came across a small pile of half-munched beetroot they have clearly uncovered when rooting. Little horrors, but they do make me laugh
