Autumn piglets!

This September we had a successful result when our breeding sows and large white boars produced a bumper litter of autumn piglets. The piglets enjoyed the late summer summer sunshine and ran about the field, squeaking and chasing one another whilst the sows foraged in the grass for worms and other grubs, or rested in the meadow.  All our pigs have now farrowed, producing almost 300 piglets between them this year with their spring and autumn litters. Pigs are such fun to watch, especially in their natural environment rooting amongst the undergrowth. It was a lovely site to see, although taking photos was a challenge as the piglets seemed rather too interested in the camera!
