More pigs

Our pork supplies are still reasonably healthy, but we will be running low by the end of the year, so we have decided it is time to get some more piglets.
We have found some that are 1/2 noir de bigorre, 1/4 large white, 1/4 piétrain. The noir is a local breed which is slow growing and very fatty. The other two are leaner and faster growing. They will be ready to leave their mum in about a month. We plan on them going in the chestnut woods to try to keep down the bracken, brambles and tree saplings which are starting to get out of control up there...
