Below is a photo of Clarrris taking her family out during the day for a romp in the paddock; when they spot Inch coming to get them back in the barn they all rush to greet him
and then they follow him in.

Clarris 'suning' herself in the wood - you've got to save your strength whilst you can!
Clarris had babies on 9 February 2009 between 12.45am - 3.30am in her bed at the back of the barn which has a seperate heated area for the piglets to get into to keep warm due to the freezing weather.
The piglets were naturally reared and free to run around 'piggy wood' to their hearts content. They were Gloucester Old Spot cross Oxford Sandy Black and were born all pink - some had a few spots and others were darker with splodges!
Clarris retired to her bed to have her babies with Inch as midwife!
Two minutes old and all ready making his way to the milk bar.
After 1 hr clarris had three piglets.
Not overly bothered about being born on a freezing night so long as the milk bar is open!
Bars open chaps!
Contented mummy Clarris.
