My lovely much loved ‘pet’ Abyssinian boar, Wilbur, passed over the rainbow bridge yesterday. 😭

He had been deteriorating for a while, but at least we had a lovely 5 years. R.I.P. lovely boy 💙🌈

(Simon x Pumpkin)

😭💙 A big shock today to find my lovely Fagin in his forever sleep 💙 😭

He was such a character and a real cheeky chap. He was also a good show and stud boar. I will miss him very much.

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 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.

Despite having the most crushing headache (I wasn’t alone as quite a few of the committee were not very well), managed to get through the day and happy with my pig’s results:-

T&W Adult : 1/7
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
AOC u/5 : 1/4

Brindle u/5 2/8

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

Thank you especially to the judges (Liz Hudson and Derek Pike) for their time and expertise, thanks to the organisers and many, many helpers that make the Show possible and a big thanks to the busy kitchen brigade- what a great lunch too! 😋

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! ❤️ 🏵️
