I had two pedigree litters of GOS's in January and from a choice of six gilts, here are some pictures of the three that I've chosen to keep. The other three have been sold.
Their sire was a Carhall Patrick and I have the dam here on the farm. She is a Theoak Josephine.
There 'pet names are Olive, Olga and Olwyn. The Three O's
Walkies !
I'm pretty pleased with how they are growing, what do you think?

I think they look beautiful.
We haven't got pigs at the moment, we have too many sausages in the freezer.

Looking lovely Well filled hams. How do you stop them from rooting? My old GOS x saddleback sow would have ploughed that grass in a flash.

Meant to add my last three Saddleback weaners where called Basil, Olive & Vera.
A small litter of only seven. Gladys was already tucking into the afterbirth when I went out to her this morning, so I guess that the full compliment of spotties .
