The Rushbury Pig

My Blog: APRIL/MAY - Kune Kune, Middle Whites and Piglets Galore !

Here are my two new Middle White breeding gilts that came from near Blackpool; a long drive but worth it! They travelled very well which was a relief as I don't think Steve would have been amused if they had starting being sick in the back of the car!! 

 

I had warned the neighboiurs they may hear squealing like someone was being murdered in the garden at some time close to midnight but they were spookily quiet when we got home - unlike most of the journey!! 

 

Bred by Tracey Bretherton, who very kindly selected them for me, here are my gorgeous Middle White Modiste and Yootha gilts:

Esme and her litter of 11 piglets born on 1st march 2011.

 

Esme likes to feed outside, even when it's cold and wet!

 

Thankfully for her piglets it's been warm and sunny most of the time

Emily is pictured here with her piglets just a few days old(born 21st March 2011) - she prefers the warmth of her bedroom to feed in. Her and Esme rarely saw things the same way though so no surprise there!
