My goodness our two piglets are lovely! We have a male and female of 7 weeks old in an enclosure in the field we call (optimistically) The Orchard. The enclosure took some preparation! We scythed a square route through the nettles and docks, because it was too tough for the strimmer, and erected an electric fence straight from Colditz. Can't risk these lovelies breaking out and heading for the nearest veg patch!
The girls that are self catering guests in the holiday cottage came back from their day at Alton Towers and have been sitting on the fence admiring the piglets. Ahhh!
These piglets are small and quite vulnerable at the moment, but soon they will be enormous. I am a firm believer in happy pork and will do everything we can to make sure these two have a happy life in The Orchard.
