I love their grunts. Jude turning over his pan seemed so disconsolate. I hope it's not the gloomy weather. I wonder why are the little sparrows eating--are there tiny insects even in such cold weather still about?
I think the sparrows are cleaning up after the pigs plus there is still a lot of fruit in the trees. Especially the ornamental pears and wild crab apples and hack berries at this time of year.
The mothers were supposedly Berkshire cross but we reckoned a feral boar was their father, but we bought them anyway as I needed pigs to feed whey and separated milk to. Then a few months later, they both farrowed and I’m assuming a feral pig had gotten them before we bought them as the fell didn’t have any boars there. So basically 3/4 feral! We’ve processed the mums and so far they look pretty good. Not too fat. These however are at risk of getting fat. I think I posted a photo in notes the other day.
I love pigs too. I have so enjoyed following the lives of Jude and Freebee, from their remarkable start in life, courtesy of your saving of them, to the new home they so enjoyed and then back to you for their twilight years.🙏🏼💖

I love pigs too! I currently have them digging my sweet potatoes!
Digging and fertilizing! What kind of pigs do you have?

Berks are big pigs - Jude is a Berk. I missed that photo - I will go back and have a look.
glad they are with you in their twilight years, in a gentle, kind home, with someone who loves and understands them
They are such lovely hogs! I can go in there with them with no fear at all.
Love the sounds of these two. You sure have given them a wonderful place to live out their elder years. Sheila would be pleased.
Oh Sheila. I will always miss laying down in the straw with that big pig.

Traveling pigs!! I am so grateful for your support over all these years!
My utmost pleasure, thank YOU.
Enjoy the apples, sweethearts ❤
They do! Bless them. Thank you Rena!
What do pigs not eat, or should not eat?
Fog! It is other-worldly - a little ghostly almost.
