Thursday just gone saw some really cold, wet weather come in so we had the 3 pregnant sows in and the heated lamps on. The first sow started farrowing 6am Saturday morning and we had 11 lovely, healthy piglets suckling nicely with mum. 3 of these were little beauties with some lovely typical rare breed Gloucester Old Spot markings and one of the three with some cool looking ginger stripes (see photos).
4pm on the Saturday afternoon saw the second sow start to farrow and she was comfortable with 8 newborn piglets. It was becoming a busy weekend and even though it was horrible outside, with rain, damp and temperatures dropping, the new arrivals were fine and warm inside.Sunday evening 6pm and the last of our 3 sows gave birth to 11 more beautiful rare breed Herwish hogs.
