    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Also I can understand it as pigs can be cleverer than humans I think a baby is a better long term investment

    What???? are you mad!!!!!

    Babies cost £££££££££££££'s and you have to keep them for years. Pigs--keep them just a few months and you can make money on them..

    I had the babies, really, really wish I had read this post before I had them. Def would have choosen pigs.:D
