This photo was taken a couple of days ago and the field still looks to have patches of green - these patches are reducing dramatically each day.
The two Porkers really have got to grips with rooting the field over looking for grubs and with the rainfall recently my trips in the field twice a day are starting to become a little tricky to say the least.
I am not looking forward to my winter feeding times one bit!
The pigs are doing really well and are growing by the day. Minnie has been taught a lesson and this morning decided she was going to jump over the fence at breakfast and cause her usual amount of trouble but this backfired when both Porkers ganged up and chased Minnie right out of the field. She was not amused.
It is times like this I envy those pig keepers with a lovely flat field!
I am a smallholder specialising in British Rare Breeds because I am passionate about saving them and by producing and farming them the continued existence of our native farm animals can be secured
