My pigs did really well at the NCC Staffordshire Show/combined ACC Stock Show. Photos attached. ‘Felix’ my adult T&W boar came runner up to Simon’s adult Brindle (who took best in show), so I’m very proud of his Felix’s achievement.

My 5-8 boar sadly had no other TWs in his class to go against (so disappointing) but my 2 x U/5 T&W boars came 1st and 2nd in their class, and my 2 x U/5 T&W sows came 1st and 3rd.

My Adult AOC boar took first in his class, and my 5-8 came 2nd in his class.

T&W 5-8 : 1/4 and 3/23 challenge
T&W u/5 (no entries)

AOC Adult : 1 and 2/2
AOC 5-8 : 1/2

Well done to all the other Aby breeders, nice to see so many Abys out and about. Great for our breed. 👍

This is ‘Daneside Phedra’ : winning Tort & White and Best Sow at the Abyssinian Cavy Club SS, Doncaster.

She does have a large white chin, white leg and bottom which cannot be seen in this photograph.

She’s by a huge T&W boar (Minstrel’) whom I originally got from John Booth (Scotland) and out of a sow from Derek Pike’s lines.

Her 3.5 month old daughter also won herTort & White class at Doncaster too. I’m very pleased.

🏵️ ❤️Had a revamp of the end shed wall …. many rosettes are kept in a large box, but these are relative to Abyssinian Cavy Club wins, with the latest Bradford Centenary Rosettes for a bit of pale gold glamour! ❤️ 🏵️

Meet one of my Golden Agouti boars. He’s called ‘Wells’. He is not yet 12 months old but a pretty substantial chap!

SIred by ‘Sparky’ (brindle) and out of ‘Marigold’ (Golden Agouti).

I’ve repeated the mating, so keeping my fingers well and truly crossed for another like him 💙🤞

14/11/2022

Another very nice litter, this time from my dark Golden Agouti sow (Aurelia) by my Brindle boar (Sparky)

3 little chunks!

2 boars and 1 sow 💙💖

09/11/2022

Update pictures of the Agouti litter born last night. Not as easy trying to capture bith sides of each tiddler though! Very fast movers now! 😂 I’m still blown away by them all 💖💙

08/11/2022

💙💖 Hello beautiful Agouti babies. Born approximately 1 hour ago! 💙💖

There are 3 light Golden Agoutis and 1 Golden Agouti (which is the traditional Golden Agouti colouring…. darker than the other 3).

There are 2 sows and 2 boars. I’ll weigh in the morning and get some more pics if possible, but posting these pics now as they are really good babies and I’m over the moon with them. The ticking is amazing!

They are out of my young light Golden Agouti sow (Aurura) and by my best light Golden Agouti boar (Wells)

Good day for the 7 pigs I took to be shown at Warwickshire yesterday. Main results being my young adult T&W boar and my 5-8 month T&W sow being placed 2nd and 3rd respectively in the overall Any Age Abyssinian Challenge. They were pipped by Andrew Sparke’s very nice 5-8 brindle boar.

My little Under 5 month old T&W sow came 2nd in the Aby Challenge U/5 month class too, so very happy. 😊

A lovely venue and great day out.

23/09/2022

💖 New litter of 3 sows arrived yesterday. I’m a little late taking pics today, as being under mum for 24 hrs can make them look a little flat. However, I’m very happy with the Agouti sow in the first pic, and I’m hoping she’ll stay sharp for the show bench in the future 💖
