Pigs galore


Who said all pigs are pink?
We have just taken on 43 pigs of all colours, some black and white others orange and a few with dots on, what a mixture, these are 'store pigs' our job is to feed them until they weigh about 40 kilograms then other farmers purchase them from us, your job is to feed them for us each day about 12-30,the mucking out is left to Farmer Bryan!

Also today we have had 4 Highland calves delivered in, unfortunately their mothers do not have enough milk to feed them (a common trait with Highland cattle) so our job is to get them used to people and a change from real milk to a milk substitute, not an easy task as they are pretty wild to say the least,patience is a virtue, so they say.
See you soon.
Farmer Bryan
