Mother Tamworth Having A Rest1294 katseluaMother Tamworth lay down to nurse her two piglets. Before doing so, she did this elaborate dance, and then had to make sure she had just the right amount of straw across her nose.

Tamworth - Wild Boar Piglets1293 katseluaThese six piglets are 7/8 Tamworth and 1/8 Wild Boar. Most of the six look like they're pure Tamworth, but a couple have black snouts and black circles around their eyes. The six were raised alongside a wild sow and a wild boar, so they're quite feisty. They're off to participate in an "Iron Age" lifestyle experiment --- as I understand it, school children will be able to see how folks actually lived in the Iron Age.

Westbrook and Vic1288 katseluaOn the other photos of Westbrook drinking his beer, we've cut poor Vic out. I thought Vic's facial expression in this photograph said it all.

Aw, cute1267 katseluaThe latest batch of Berkshire piglets had trouble feeding; either their mother wasn't bothered or her previous litter were pushing the little ones out of the way. Fortunately, we have two veterinary students working here for the summer so they have been hand rearing the littlies. Sadly, we lost 3 but the other 3 are doing well.
