the great gary escape day....
Oh dear.... it was always going to happen, we've had a proper pig escape.
Gary, who learnt to jump up at the fence to get as close as possible to incomming food, now has the strength to push against the fence and then just jump over it into the garden (posssibly with a plan to raid the shed where we're keeping two huge boxes of windfall apples donated by a friend whos a garden designer!).
Sam managed to get him back into the pig run, by distracting him from the joys of the garden with a bowl of pig nuts, which he followed all the way home..... only to jump out again 2 mintues later. He's now 'confined' back in the original pig run area, which seems really small now that the pigs are so much bigger and used to so much more space to trot (or rather squelch) around in.
Not sure what the plan is now, but I think we might need to write to Father Xmas and see if we can get 'electric fence' put at the top of our list this year!
3 months to go before pigs become bacon - yes it will be hard saying goodbye, but already I can see that a load of bacon and pork joints will be a lot less hassle to deal with!

I think this is what is known as fast food.
Any chance of some festive photos of the pigs at Christmas?
