Again.
Great oaks from little acorns grow?
I thought I'd take advantage of it not raining for five minutes today and take these pictures. Here's Theoaks Josephine ( pet name Gladys) our five year old GOS Sow. We've had her for a year or two and she's had two litters here with us and hopefully she'll go on for a good while yet. She's a lovely old pig. Her next litter is due on or around the second of February.
The next photo is of her January born gilts to Carhall Patrick. Because of how the naming system works, these three are all OvertheGate Josephines . If we'd kept any boars back, they these would have been OvertheGate Patricks.
The third picture is of Gladys's last litter which were born in July. They'll all be off for the freezer at the end of January.

Bodger's pigs do always look as if they're having a good time.
I was dead chuffed to pick this E-mail up first thing yesterday morning.
Hi John
Just a quick note to say how much we have been enjoying the pork we got from you a couple of months ago; my brother has told me it is the best pork he thinks he has ever eaten! When we collected the pork you showed us the new piglets and mentioned that they should be ready around the end of January - is this still the case? If so, would we be able to order three half pigs - one half for me, one half for my brother and one half for our parents?
Let me know.
Kind regards
The only problem, is that all of the January pigs are spoken for and it didn't help matters losing a young pig the other week with a twisted gut.
Its nice to know that I must be doing something right. Like everyone else, I love a little bit of praise.
Her next litter is due on or around the second of February.
