During the September Mudgee Wine Festival we brought 3 newly weaned piglets up to the cellar door. Although initially tentative then were soon won over by Emily and Felix. Emily has named this one Olivia - more of them can be seen on the Ormiston facebook page - where we christened Em The Pig Whisperer. Needless to say the pigs have been eartagged as breeders and will join the herd when they are big enough.It is obviously spring around here because we have also got 'Cheepy' a solitary chick that was unsold at the local farm shop. I couldn't help myself and bought 'her' (hmm..let's wait and see) home. She was meant to go under a broody hen for adoption. By the next day she had indeed been adopted..but not by a chicken.
