Just born this morning. We have four of these little beauties – all gilts (girls). They’ll grow up to sup on cheese whey.
It’s an integral part of our business. Cheese whey is acidic, meaning we can’t just pour it down the drain or slop it onto the fields. The pigs, however, love it.
Pigs and cheese go together well. Traditionally, Parma ham pigs were raised on Parmesan cheese whey – so what we’re doing makes sound financial sense and is a sustainable solution to what might be a tricky environmental issue.
Better photos will follow but it’s important not to disturb Mum too much at this stage…
