GLORIA WINS BREED CHAMPION
18/6/16 1:04:24 PM

 What can I say. A complete shock to Ian yesterday as our piggy wigs surpassed themselves at Royal Three Counties Show and Gloria won 1st in the Sow class, Female Champion and Breed Champion. Jackson was 1st in the Senior Boar class beating Jonty into 2nd place and then going on to win Male Champion.
Many thanks to everyone who has helped us today namely Chris, Hollie and Katie Sully for their excellent handling skills and to Becci Royle for taking superb photos xxx

and then today Ian was thrilled to be asked for Jackson to have an official photo taken to go into the BPA Herd book - how fantastic is that!

IMO IS BREED CHAMPION AT STAFFORDSHIRE COUNTY SHOW 2016
3/6/16 10:41:41 AM

 We've had an absolutely fantastic time at Staffordshire show the past two days and we couldn't be more proud of our piggywigs!


Jonty (Oldlands Jack 2) won senior boar with Jackson (Oldlands Jack 3) second.
Gloria (Longash Gloria 7) won the sow class with Ellie (Oldlands Elsie 5) second.
Imo (Oldlands Iris 4) won the July Gilt and Cinammon (Oldlands Clare 21) won the September class with her sister Clover second - even though, the lovely but naughty Clover thought she was at Ascot racecourse rather than a pig show!
To put the icing on the cake Imo then went Breed Champion and Jonty was Reserve.
We couldn't be more thrilled with them all xxx

BRANSTON
26/5/16 07:03:33 AM

Monday we lost a very special member of our family.  


Our beloved Branston – Inch’s best friend, his right hand man - ‘my boy’ as he called him. They were inseparable, from the moment Branston was born he laid on Inch’s lap and there he was to stay until today just 11 years later. Given sleep, whilst in his Dad’s arms, to prevent further suffering after his second stroke left him incapacitated and disorientated and although he is now at peace we are distraught with grief at his passing as he has left a deep cavern in our lives.

Branston grew up with Inch (Ian) - spending his time sitting on the tractor whilst they were out ploughing, etc and enjoying exploring the farmland (even when he wasn’t supposed to be!) until he heard Inch call that it was time to go home. They went everywhere together. However, he spent his later years at home going down the wood every morning and taking his daily constitutional (after following Inch down to feed the pigs in piggy wood), tracing the same route around the perimeter of the paddocks on his own avoiding the youngsters playing in the field.

Always at Inch’s side, he filled our hearts with love. He was such a character, he loved everyone - young and old alike and was always thrilled if someone would sit on the floor with him and make as much fuss of him as possible. He would sit on Inch’s lap in the evenings to watch TV as he adored his Dad and this was reciprocated manyfold.

Sleep well darling Branston, we are devastated that you had to leave us so soon and our hearts are broken with the pain of losing you dearest friend xxx

SUPREME CHAMPION at MORETON IN THE MARSH SHOW
7/9/15 06:12:39 AM

Apparently a record entry of 140 pigs and our Longash Gloria 7 won not only Oxford Sandy and Black Pig Breed Champion but Traditional Breed Champion and then Interbreed Supreme Champion - so we had a ride in the pig trailer around the main ring for the first time in our lives! We are all thrilled!

 

Many thanks to all who helped us - namely our Emma, Jon Furber, Judy Hancox, Peter Colson and Patricia Colson for her excellent hospitality.  

Our other pigs also did extremely well too (Lilly 3rd Sow, Cynthia 1st July, Peggy 4th, Ellie 2nd and Claire 3rd in the January gilt) - nearly forgot to mention them with so much excitement! xxx
