Looking very determined. Xx🤗💕❤️
They always look like that to me when there on a mission to eat
👍😳😂😂😂😂
They always look so dainty tiptoeing like ballerinas.
These were not dainty
Oh but up on those two toes, look daintier than Hippy Hippo me!!
😂😂😂😂
Wow! I've never seen pigs like these BB. What does " pannage" mean?
Pannage season lasts from end of September for between 40 and 60 days ...its when the pigs are let on to the forest to scoff acorns and nuts of the forest floor during autumn as acorns etc are toxic to the ponies and pigs eat all day long it then fattens the pigs up some go home and some sadly to slaughter 🖤
It makes sense to manage a forest in this way. I hadn't thought about the possibility of horses and ponies being poisoned in this way. You learn something new every day.
The circle of life so to speak
Trying to work out if they’re Tamworths with ‘objectionable’ black spots or Oxford Sandy and Blacks - purely personal curiosity, but don’t suppose you know, do you BB? 🤔 Leg and snout length make me think the former, but colours make me think the latter.

HI Charlie
They are deffo Oxford Sandy blacks .. hope your painting away still
Love to see the pigs roaming around like that even if it's for a short period 😊.
Not great when there is a litter of piglets running around on the road ... just little babies scampering about ... traffic jams galore
hi Blackbird
Are they a new breed of BULL where are the horns 😂🤣 with rings on their noses ?
Fab photo Bernardine.
The rings on the snouts are necessary for foraging under the autumn leaves . 🍂
if they didn't have rings they are not allowed on the forest as snouts can be seriously damaged...
See you humour regarding the bull 😂
Thank you for the informative reply, very interesting I never thought as to why they had rings. A very imposing animal, beautifully marked.
Bernardine 🥰🤗🤗🤗🤗
Those two look like they’re on a mission😂 Great photo as always, Bb x
They are they were foraging for food
What gorgeous pigs.
Arent they livley and lovley also 🧡🖤
I looked their breed up as I hadn't come across them before - probably Oxford Sandy and Black - docile and good for keeping outdoors as their colouring protects them from damage by the sun.
And there in the wood, a piggywig stood, with a ring through the end of its nose. Quote from..? Even the pigs have autumn colours down your way.
They certainly do
Haven't seen this breed before BB and not sure I would like to get in their way. I learn something new from your posts x
I don't get in their way ever
I dont blame you, I would be like the road runner beep beep lol x
😂😂😂😂😂 I love the road runner ...all the bits from acme
Hi Blackbird9 thats a lovely picture Pigs always remind me of happy times as I grew up on a pig farm and had my own pig when I was five years old called Rosie who I used to show and she won many rosettes hence I collect pigs (not real ones now ) My great grandson from the time he was born has spent many hours with me and always plays with the pigs hence I am affectionately know as nanna pig. 😆🐖🐷
Awww that's lovley thankyou for sharing that with us ..
Pigs are lovley creatures to collect... Great name by the way
Thanks for good photo, just read all posts, very informative and interesting, never too old to learn! it’s lovely part of country, many years since visited. Jean x
You must come soon Jean
I should be the one thanking you for bringing back such lovely memories for me x
Ahh your welcome
Love the photo, though I always think pigs are a bit scary.xxx
I have to agree with you Alberta
What a lot I’ve learned from your post I adore the little piggies not so sure about the BIG ones. Wouldn’t like to get in their way. X
