Yesterday our last American boar, a junior lilac self, went home with his new people. So we couldn't breed Americans any more even if we wanted to.
But I just don't have room anymore for these sentimental favorites. Our last five American sows are for sale. These were some of our very first pigs, either our original stock or the babies of those first pigs. So each is special. They have all been bred several times, the chocolate and the silver agouti most recently.
Some of these sows could be shown, but they will be best in a small caviary where a premium is placed on cuddling. Or as great pets. That is not to say that they are merely "Pet Quality", rather, since they were among our first babies, they were pampered, snuggled, cuddled, and spoiled. It is amazing how easy it is fuss over babies when you only have 30 pigs. Their pictures and descriptions are listed in the "For Sale" album. The oldest is a 2-1/2 year old brindle. The rest were all born in the winter or spring of 2004, so they are still young.
Next to come will be the listing of Senior Abyssinian sows, and junior abby boars. Plus some baby pictures: just had a litter of chocolate and chocolate roan teddies last night. Can't wait to show them to everyone.
