All are well and just starting to show an interest in the outside world (the Weaners will be for sale around the 25Apr10)
   
John is very excited because a whole batch of new ear tags was delivered today. Anyway, there are six different colours, all with very well adhered painted numbers which hopefully, won't wear off and will remain readable, unlike the last lot! 
   
So we now have a way of instantly knowing what piglets belong to which sow. I know that it will make Chris and John's lives much easier. 
   
I was a little concerned with John's excitement when he showed me the contents of the box, I only hope he is as pleased with his birthday presents next week!
   Take care, Suzanne]]></description><pubDate>Fri, 05 Mar 2010 10:10:51 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/tuesday-2mar10/</link><guid>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/tuesday-2mar10/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What&#039;s happening on the farm today 27Feb10]]></title><description><![CDATA[  Hi, John has asked me if I could write a few words when I can, explaining what's happening at Lankelly Farm.  
I am Suzanne, John's long suffering (and I mean 'long suffering') porcine  widow and I am the one who is often left at the most inappropriate moments because pigs have been seen munching their way up the lane, or Mavis is about to farrow. (Mavis was our first sow and she holds a place in our hearts, even if she is a grumpy old sow to her younger, more nubile, companions.)
But what a small price to pay to have the most delicious pork at our disposal and have the privilege of knowing the most friendly of creatures.  
I know that the pigs we rear have been born and brought up in an idyllic valley, with fresh water from a running stream, people walking past all the time on the Saints Way footpath stopping to give them a tickle behind the ears and they have us; Chris, John, Val, myself, Josh, our 10 year old son and the dogs Zak and Daisy to look after them.  
Having said all of that, what did happen on the farm today? Nothing that exciting to be truthful. We are awaiting the birth of 2 litters over the next 10 days, so eyes are peeled for signs of a sow building a nest and other more technical pointers which I won't bore you with.
And we are just about to have supper; Foye Pork and garlic sausages, saute potatoes, curly kale, carrots and peas....delicious.  
So bye for now, and I will endeavour to write when we have news of the happy events. Take care, Suzanne]]></description><pubDate>Sat, 27 Feb 2010 20:30:04 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/whats-happening-on-the-farm-today-27feb10/</link><guid>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/whats-happening-on-the-farm-today-27feb10/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hog Roaster for hire ]]></title><description><![CDATA[We now have our New Hog Roaster for hire]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Feb 2010 00:11:22 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/hog-roaster-for-hire-/</link><guid>http://www.cornishblackpigs.co.uk/home/hog-roaster-for-hire-/</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boar at Stud]]></title><description><![CDATA[  "Cornish Black" (Large Black) Boar for hire.
