Over the next few days we will introduce the characters who live on the Rectory Reserve. First and foremost, we have the Rectoryreserve herd of Mangalitzas. Until these guys came along, this was just a Rectory. But once you have pigs, they have to be registered with DEFRA and that process involves having a herd number and name.. so these two led to the 'Rectoryreserve herd' of Mangalitzas.
We'll tell you more about Mangalitzas later, but suffice for now to say that they are mega rare. The first to arrive were Mangel (nearest camera) and Wurzel. They arrived here just two months ago. This is them - examining the possibilities of breaking into the feed bin - just a couple of days after they arrived. They travelled up from Wiltshire, where they were bred, in the back of a Saab estate, from which they were carried into the 'stalls' where they lived for the first 4 weeks. They're a little bit bigger now - you'd need to be at least the size of Schwarzenegger to lift either of them now. More of that another day.
