DOWN ON THE FARM – PIGLET UPDATE

Our piglets are a few weeks old now and I thought it was time to show you some more photos of the little darlings !!!

Here are half of them trying to get a feed. When the mother is finished with them (not the other way round) she sits up and tucks her teats underneath her.

The piglets are a little hard to contain at the moment as they are small enough to get through the panels on their pen.

They enjoy roaming around and seem to do this on mass. When one goes all go.  They wander quite a way too.

I am just glad that they are not into digging up our back lawn yet!!

Here are the bigger ones in the pen behind. There is going to be a big butchering day hopefully later this month, so our freezer will be full of sausages again.

My husband is keen to make bacon and do some curing / drying of meat, so I will keep you updated on how that goes.

Until next time….
