Visiting the pigs

[bunn]

Someone in our village bought a house with a garden that had been untouched for many years.  To clear it, they are using the 'apply pigs and stand back' method. The pigs like visitors and come gallumphing over to see who is passing.

When the piglets were small and wary and ran about intriguingly in the undergrowth, Rosie was very fascinated with them, but now they are a bit bigger,  she is more cautious.  Brythen, however, would like to be their friend.

That, and also I think because much less fencing required : we had another neighbour who did Apply Goat a few years back, and the goat kept getting out and eventually got into someone else's conservatory and butted them!

I think this has left the village not very charitably inclined towards goats, whereas these pigs just have a low fence and a line of electric tape around their area and don't seem to have any great desire to leave it.

Oh yes, that's true. I've heard that some people prefer sheep for that reason.
