On a still and snowy evening in January the girls are quietly enjoying their evening meal, no doubt discussing how calm and peaceful life is without 24 greedy piglets to feed.

Their peace is short-lived.  Just around the corner Biff the Boar is making his entrance.

Big Biff is so big that he can’t turn around in the trailer and has to exit backwards, which he finally manages with limited elegance.

But once on the ground it doesn’t take long before he spots the hut and suspects there may be ladies lurking within.

 Introductions are duly made.

 And things seem to be going quite well.

Which is unsurprising given what a looker he is.

 There was a slight hiccup when we thought that Biff was going to be too big to get into the pig hut.

But luckily he eventually made it in.

It doesn’t take long before romance is in the air.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

So fingers crossed for another batch of squealing little monsters in the spring.

Selcoth is proud to welcome two of the proudest and handsomest tups about town.

– Introducing Sir Blackface Tup Senior…

Not to be outdone by his younger – and somewhat feisty – companion, Blackface Tup Junior Esq…

And don’t they make a handsome pair?

So far the girls are leaving them alone, but we don’t think it will be too long before their wily charms overcome female reticence.

We’ll let you know how the courtship progresses, but we are hoping for lots of happy families next spring.
