Oh so cute. Wonderful image. We have just had more sheep arrive in a field near where we live. These sights always raise my spirits. xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Dottie11]

I love animals 😍

[Dottie11 in reply to Blackbird9]

So do I. A lifelong love. Began the first time I stroked a cat and dog as a child. xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Jaybird19]

They are a bit dopey as they are new born but very sassy 😂

[HungryHufflepuff]

what an amazing sight to see 🐖

[Blackbird9 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

They are beautiful 😍

[HungryHufflepuff in reply to Blackbird9]

They really are. Do they walk around freely like the ponies ?

[Blackbird9 in reply to HungryHufflepuff]

Yes only from September till end of November they eat the acorns than can be toxic to livestock 😍

[watergazer]

The elusive pigs I never found them x

[Blackbird9 in reply to watergazer]

They're are a few hundred local to me 😂

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

A few hundred blinking heck, do they ever attack ? I would be terrified. Typical townie eh!

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

Yes they have been known to charge when people annoy them 😂

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Yikes, I would make sure I didn't annoy any pigs if I lived near there ha!

[Nicholatracy]

Do they just roam wild? Quite beautiful 🐞🐞

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nicholatracy]

They do during autumn then they head home 🏡

[Germantara]

Fantastic picture love little piggies

[Blackbird9 in reply to Germantara]

Thankyou ❤️

[dunnellon]

They look adorable when they're little piglets, but boy, can the big ones tear up a lawn! Our property is hit by the herd once or twice every couple years and they leave it looking like a rototiller went through! Great shot of the piggies!

[Blackbird9 in reply to dunnellon]

These are left to run the forest and eat the acorns that are toxic to the livestock 😍

[Nula2]

Aww how lovely to see them roaming freely instead of in an intensive farm and great that the livestock can then graze safely😊. Beautiful photo Blackbird xxx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nula2]

Thanks so much Nula they do go home after pannage season 😊

[Nula2 in reply to Blackbird9]

It must be difficult to round them all up. Guess the babies will follow their mums but do the mums go happily back? Expect they are kept in barns and not chained up unable to move as I've seen in the past (very sad sight that was💔)xxx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Nula2]

They are kept in fields on their owners land when at home and they have pigstys to sleep in .... Mum's go home on direction from the owners and the piglets just naturally follow 😀

[Nula2 in reply to Blackbird9]

Ah that's lovely. 😊 I know they will end up as food for humans but they are given the best life possible meantime. 👍❤️ xxx
