The black and white pigs are the British Saddleback breed.
The pigs are enjoying rooting the grass in the field. Saddlebacks are a hardy breed so enjoy being outside. It looks like the piglets have some food in a trough which is separate from the sows. It seems that the farmer has put an electric fence up so that the sows can't eat the piglets food which is a good idea as the creep feed for piglets can make the sows have a poorly tummy if the sows eat it. The sows look like they are enjoying eating the grass.
The piglets only look a few weeks old - probably 4-6 weeks old at a guess.
What are your favourite farm animals? Do you have pigs and if so what is your favourite breed?
