Just been reading about a kune kune pig that was enormously pregnant and whose previous litter had been 13 - she had one baby!

I adore Pigs My favorite is the saddle back and the glostor old spot When we move here[ ilse lewis] i save up enough for 2 Tamworth but mum said no.because we don't have enough land real shame, I don't really have enough time or money to keep pigs now, but alice old teacher keeps and lot of tamworth some are cross gloster [sorry Ithink I've speltthat wrong all the way though}

I've been out of action for a few days, setting eggs and doing my knee in (torn cartiladge). My piggies are quite tame, don't quite roll over on their backs though. Too greedy for that, they hurtle around their field when they see anyone approaching with a bucket - god help us when they get bigger Shocked

Sorry to hear about you're knee, ovalina. Hope you feel better soon. Watch out the piggies don't knock you over! Razz
