Ahhhhh, piggies!

[Bill in Oregon]

This link popped up in a discussion of the variances in feral hog conformation in one of the Texas hunting forums. I don't know what it is -- maybe the fact that 99 percent of my DNA is British Isles? -- but I am always utterly charmed by Englishmen talking about domestic heritage breeds. What a grand name, Gloucestershire Old Spot!

Wood milk? Not sure how that ties to pigs or Englishmen?

[Bill in Oregon]

Sorry. Fixed. Copied the link from Doc's Wood Milk post and learned once again that I am no multitasker!
Ray, thanks for that link. My father would start laughing at the mere mention of Wodehouse.

If only England was still a bit more like the England P G Wodehouse wrote about....

Being a Midlander the Tamworth pigs are one of my favourite pig breeds.

Those Tams are mighty handsome, if you ask me.

Perhaps the wrong link ?

Every englisher or anglophile ought to read wodehouse's tales that feature pigs.....berkshires to be precise.....

Here's one.....

Does it strike anyone else that Hillary Clinton and Miss Piggy have a very strong likeness?

No resemblance. The Empress is much better dressed.
