    1. They're brilliant aren't they TM? Already they are walking around with their eyes wide open. We bought their Berkshire mother in pig and they are not related to the other ones so I will probably keep one of them.

    1. I have heard it rumoured that you are The Elephant Man of south west Cork. But looks are not everything my friend - it's what's on the inside that counts. Love to the piggies!

    2. I have got a face made for radio: the theatre of the mind. Us northern lads were born with the gift of self deprecation weren't we?

  8. I haven't picked them up yet Sue. Mummy pig is a very good mother and doesn't need our help apart from lots of food.
