Piggety Scarcity

We're on the road again, this time to pick up six piglets for two of our farmer friends who (like us) had trouble finding piggies this spring.  We dropped off two at Lakesend Cheese in Alburg, and I took some photos of the critters they have there.

Giant spotted pig (she's asleep).

Dairy kids.

Yes, that's a peacock!  It was hatched at the farm in the nest of a broody chicken.

The remainder of the piglets are now in the barn with our own, waiting for a ride to their new home.

They are the same size as our own wee piggies, the only difference being that they are a little dirty - that's one of them behind the glowing piglet, and another in the background (note the black 'stockings').
