First steps…

The lambing started at the beginning of March and we’re now surrounded by 54 noisy babies.  We have just two more to come and then we’re done.

The main problem for us at the moment is the weather – by now we would hope to have at least half of them out in the field but the weather has made this very difficult.

We’ve also had two more litters of piglets – both sired by a Large Black boar.

As you can see this gives us some lovely black piglets from the Large Black sow and very pretty spotty ones from the Large White sow.
