Bowood 2014 #23: Tractor Ted's

It had been more than a couple of weeks since I had visited Tractor Ted's Little Farm when I had been to Bowood, and so I knew nothing of this family of pigs that had been there about a fortnight. The eleven piglets were born on May 20th on a farm near Swindon and their mother is a Saddleback, rather appropriately if unpoetically named Big Pig. The father is a Gloucester Old Spot/Mangalitza cross, and so the piglets are a mixture of all three types, only one actually having a saddleback. The Mangalitza is the curly long-haired pig, so it will be interesting to see if any develop this characteristic when they are older.
