Bramble one of our two Tamworth Sows delivered a fine second litter of 11 strong piglets today.

She was due to farrow in 3 days time and we'd not finished getting her new quarters ready as I'd been delayed by having to dispatch then butcher Hopalong Sally who had a badly broken leg

However over night she'd tore up several clumps of rushes and made a fine nest in the porch of our barn so we just let her get on with it.

Mother and wains all doing well.

Cheers, Paul
please bear in mind when reading this post that i'm a taurus so prone to talking bull.

She looks tired - but very pleased with herself, as only a sow can look!
