Pigs # 8 - Friday Weigh In

Still pretty close to the curves, but maybe slowing down slightly - perhaps because of the heat?  It's been 25C plus every day this week! Lets hope with the extra rations next week they will step up.  They still seem really happy - had a very nice stroke / scratch with them this evening, and made a nice 'wallow' for them to cool down in and get nice and muddy!
