Which little piggies???

Linda has a new dilemma today after we called into see the piglets which were born about 10 days ago. She has to choose which two from the litter of nine will be ours by the end of July.


Of course they are very cute at this age - even the other ones we saw at 16 weeks were hard to resist. The piglets are crossbreed Saddleback / Duroc and should reach more than 100kg at 6 months. In addition to choosing our two, we still have a couple of other steps before we can bring them home. Most importantly, I am still waiting for my Pig Herd Number from the Dept of Agriculture -while the Irish may try to avoid many aspects of their British history, they could probably give the Civil Sevice in the UK lessons in bureaucracy.
