Our Yorkshire gilt, Claire, had her first litter of pigs yesterday. There are six little darlings, four gilts and two boars. The seventh pig, a boar, didn't make it...he appeared to have a clotting problem from the umbilical cord.
Claire was bred with an all black crossbred boar, so you'll notice that a couple of the piggies have some black markings. We were hoping for a variety:) Noah, Ben, and Hannah are already naming the pigs and claiming which ones they will show at the summer fairs.
