she did not enjoy the show sufficiently so we did not take her out again.
She really enjoyed being a mum.
She likes her pig house, she likes a nice house. She had a few fly- strike attacks, around the tail, due to sweatiness in the heat. She is not affected by it and she will let you know. You can treat her by yourself. She will stand there. But she is very strong and she will get you off your feet if she wants to.
She did get her head caught last year, got her head through the hurdle to eat hay and she could not get back and waited for us to get her head out. She went back the next day and she realised and stopped from getting her head in. She could have yanked the hurdle around the field but she did not panic; she does not panic. She is phlegmatic, she just grinds her teeth when things don’t go her way.
She will accept things but she will kick you with back feet if there is something she does not like.
Tell me more about being ready: I get the feeling it is because she likes us, she wants to be helpful, she likes it if we praise her, it means something to her, a sense of things being right and proper and orderly. There is a right and a wrong way to do things and she will be doing it in the right way.
The eating thing is about being very efficient. She bustles around and she has a lot of energy. She is quite deep, there is a lot to her. Many people like her.
Is she resourceful? Yes she is very resourceful, she had loads of milk. She is the one you can count on. She is fundamental to what we do.
