Piglets have arrived

Harriet's piglets have arrived. This time she had 5 good sized piglets that are doing well outside in an arc.

Once again their arrival coincided with heavy rainfall - fortunately the storm and accompanying hail was relatively short-lived. Previously we have had torrential rainfall that has threatened to flood her arc and, on another occasion, we had water coming up through cracks in the concrete floor of a converted stable (see my 2009 blog) . It almost seems as if she senses rain is on the way and labour gets underway.

We will be keeping these piglets for meat so if you are interested in our Raise-a-pig scheme please get in touch.
