Sorrryyyyyy I've been SO busy i've forgotten to post here

I'm hoping that some piggy pictures will make you forgive me because... yes! Today the piglets arrived!!!

We had trouble thinking of names but i found a blog online where a couple had done the same as we're doing, and had called their pigs Garry and Minty, so i've pinched the names and our two are called Garry and Minty too

The one with the thinner white band is Garry and the one with the fatter white band is Minty, for obvious reasons LOL

Beki - exciting times! These look very healthy piglets and quite a size too already. Imagine you will have to boil up an awful lot of potato peelings to keep them fed !

Lovely! Well done you

Great looking weaners Beki - you'll have fun chasing those two around the garden when they escape under that stock fencing ... like ours did :rotfl:

ahhh we have 3 rows of barbed wire as advised by the rare breeds farm

one above the fencing, to stop the dogs getting in. one about 1ft off the ground to stop the pigs pushing against the fence and bowing it. and one at ground level to stop them rooting underneath it
