Our new Berkshire weaner pigs have only been on the farm for a week or so, but they've already become quite content in their new surroundings. Of course, who wouldn't be happy with an all-you-can-eat buffet of chopped mangels, grain and table scraps? We'll keep these two in the barn for a few weeks, and then move them outside to the portable pig house where they can get serious about rooting and digging. The Berkshires are an old and rare breed, and today's animals are supposedly descended from a herd owned by the House of Windsor more than three-hundred years ago.
