Tamworth - Wild Boar Piglets1024 viewsThese six piglets are 7/8 Tamworth and 1/8 Wild Boar. Most of the six look like they're pure Tamworth, but a couple have black snouts and black circles around their eyes. The six were raised alongside a wild sow and a wild boar, so they're quite feisty. They're off to participate in an "Iron Age" lifestyle experiment --- as I understand it, school children will be able to see how folks actually lived in the Iron Age.

The Tamworth Pigs Showing Off1014 viewsWe moved the wild pigs into the next paddock -- to help us churn it up before planting grass in the spring. The Tamworth males ran up and down the fence, with the wild boar on the other side. The chickens and alpacas weren't impressed by this show of piggy macho.

Gloucester Old Spot Sow996 viewsWhat's she doing here? She was brought here to become impregnated by one of our Tamworth boars --- but then the owner never came to pick her up. We are now looking for a good home for this GOS sow, and her piglets. When this sow arrived she had the large, healed gash in her right ear. (It actually lets her see a little bit!)
