Pick of the litter

The quest continues to find two piglets that will grow to be our breeding sows. Stable Sprites obsession with all things pork is proving useful as he has around 7 litters for us to choose from.
We had chosen one from a litter a few weeks ago, but as she grew she lost the key markings we need on a Berkshire, that being four white socks, a white blaze and a white tail, so Morgana as she was so named has had to go with her brothers and sisters to another farm. Morgana 2 may have been found in another litter, meantime take a look at this one.
If all goes to plan this little pig will become Guinevere, she does have a slight over mark on the face but she had an essential advantage over her litter mates. She was very quiet when picked up.
