Even on a bright but chilly day the Berkshire's love to be outside. They have free range of the barn filled with hay and straw to bury into at night but we never lock them in. The have a paddock to the south of the barn that they are free to roam around if they choose to and on a sunny winters day you will often find them all laying out against the back wall fast asleep in the sun.
Today we gave them an extra treat from our winter vegetable stores of squash and pie pumpkins. Most days in winter we cook them up a veggie stew either for morning or evening feed! Yes our pigs are spoilt!
Your pigs are adorable! :) The way you describe them sleeping in the sun reminds me of cats. Do you breed your pigs as well?
