Annie is pictured with the pigs at her farm
THIS litter of rare New Zealand pigs has just been born on a Lymington farm.
The seven bristly babies born to mum Fiona at Woodford Farm, Pennington, are kune kune (pronounced kooney kooney) pigs.
Owner Annie Pollock said: "The pigs are a bit of fun. I really breed donkeys - miniatures and enormous very rare French donkeys - and alpacas."
A bit of fun maybe, but Miss Pollock is so taken with the piglets that she hopes that after a springtime rest, Fiona will have another litter in the summer.
There are only about 600 kune kunes in the UK. The breed is thought to have originated in China.
The piglets are for sale. Miss Pollock says they are very friendly and make great outdoor pets. Contact her at info@woodfordfarm.co.uk.
