A Husband for Delila

It has now been declared official - ie. by The Boss - "Young Precious is not 'in pig' either".
So no pitter patter of tiny trotters will be heard at Rectory Reserve for a few months yet. Shame.
No matter.
The Boss has other ways of making things happen. Turning disappointment into opportunity he has been in the 'Mangalitza Marriage Market' to secure a husband for Delila (not that she has any inkling of, or necessity for, such things yet). Not only does this make good sense (to find a husband well in advance) but also makes good use of the unexpected space now available.
After much research and discussion (not just any young man would do) 12 other trotters arrived here from the North East of the county on Wednesday. Samson (Delila's Intended) and his brothers 'Three' and 'Five' were born 4 months ago. After their initial bewilderment, they've settled in well and are as pleasant a bunch of Blonde Curly Coats as you could wish for.
Mind you, one of them fair blotted his copybook when he arrived: unloading from their trailer into the Old Stalls, two young chaps duly wandered into the correct area whilst the third decided to go 'The Other Way' and found himself trotting around the premises - doubtless looking for his home.
What he found was Mangal! So he stopped for a chat. And got himself cornered. Thankfully for his pursuers!
Young Tracey Jane, his breeder, deftly grabbed hold of a leg and before he knew where he was (though he did let loose a prodigious amount of squealing) his front legs were both in Tracey's safe hands and The Boss had grabbed the back pair. In that - very undignified - manner he was carried off to intended Stalls. Put down on the ground, he was most indignant and stood stock still for several minutes - glowering menacingly (well, slightly).
He is now easy to identify, being the tallest of the three.
He will make nice sausages!
Meanwhile, we are seeking an alternative husband for Precious... of which more news in due course.
On a different theme - the Bestest Gundog in all the World has now had 5 days 'in the field' during which he has gone from strength to strength. More news on that in due course also.......
