Bubbles did good!! 11 piglets arrived this morning, all up and running, so far, so good!

We potentially have piglets on the way! Bubbles is currently showing some signs of getting ready to pig. She has developed teats over the last couple of days and was beginning to become agitated with the other pigs. We've moved her this morning to give her some privacy and space to begin nesting. We'll keep you posted!!

The calves have come thick and fast, calf number 4 arrived on Wednesday. This time it was Jasmine's turn to welcome her calf. Welcome Tolsta Ophelia!

In 2025, the two calves born were Noelle and Nicholas both beginning with the letter N. As we have started the new year the two calves born after the New Year are named with the letter O.

Ophelia is named after a flower, the same as her sister Lily, mum Jasmine and grandmother Hyacinth.
