Weaned And Ready To Go.

 Remember back in April when the two piglets were born on the smallholding  and their mother had no milk and we brought them inside, and put them in a cage on top of the table in the Conservator,y and we bottle fed them with lamb lace milk replacer,  in plastic bottles?

Well they survived and now they are fully weaned and living in a the puppy pen that the Golden Retriever puppies lived in when they were born:

It's always a joy when undernourished farm animals survive.

If you want any piglets let me know.  Anyone else keep pigs or thinking of getting some?

  1. My humans would love piggy wigs but our neighbours wouldn't be happy, and I, the Tigger, demand all the attention around here anyway.

  3. All I have to say is this:

    They sailed away, for a year and a day,
    To the land where the Bong-Tree grows
    And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
    With a ring at the end of his nose,
    His nose,
    His nose,
    With a ring at the end of his nose.

    4. He certainly did! On his big red Brexit battle bus he promised £350 million a week for the NHS from money not being sent to The European Union! It was a big fat porky and he most likely knew it at the time.

  4. Yes. I will take a pig. Perhaps you could pop it in a package and post it, please?

    1. They are boars River. So they could also be used for breeding.
