I'm really, really pleased. A few more weeks and hopefully I'll be able to make a decent business case to decide whether Pigs will be a long term part of Tymawr farm or not. I hope they are - they are lovely, a real pleasure to have around. I can imagine half a dozen sows and a boar, I can almost smell the awards at the Usk Show! Maybe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, the first question will have to be 'can they help to pay the mortgage?' unfortunately!
