Rare Vintage

After four or five litters of piglets we still manage to be surprised!

The Little Tots have exceeded every previous 'benchmark'.

Starting with being born at super speed, they hit the ground running - literally, with the first one dodging round the ark within just a few hours.
They've continued in the same vein. They were the earliest in leaving the safety of the ark - the first ones emerging within 5 days compared with about 8 or 9 for Bonnie and Clyde and two weeks for previous litters.

Then, whereas most piglets don't get interested in hard food for at least three weeks these chaps were climbing into mum's bowl within two. Perhaps they feel they need it because they are merrily scampering about the woods regardless of whether they're in Delila's pen or in with Samson and his new 'amour' (Precious). They are nothing if not adventurous.

And then there's Big Ears - a.k.a. J.D.: he really is something else. Not just a good looking chap and the only boar amongst the girls, but he has the biggest ears ever seen on our piglets (a good trait since the original Lincolnshire Curly Coats had large floppy ears and he clearly inherits these from his maternal grandfather - Mangal - plus he is also blonde, which the original curly coats were too) - and he's developed this neat trick of checking into the bar whenever Delila (not to mention the other piglets) is busy having her dinner.

Smart or what?

He could go far..........
