FIRST PIGLETS OF THE YEAR


Rosie was near to birthing, but I really thought she had a few more days yet, but no... 6am she started to give birth, the first one arrived and was on her own for about 40 mins which was a bit of a worry, so we named her Sparkle. Then 3 more arrived with a little help from me and Pete, it was quite exciting, 3 hours in and we only had 4, then one arrived not breathing so Pete tried his hardest to resuscitate it but with no avail,...another 45 mins passed, it was a slow birth this time, after 61/2 hours Rosie finally made 7 little piglets or sparklers!!! Sparkle had siblings!!!, she must have been shattered, they are all so cute and fed really well straight away, I have posted so many piglet photos, but I love them so here's a few more!!! At least Pete was here this time and not away at golf...
