Valentine's Day romance at Holmbush Farm...

Holmbush Farm’s famous woolly pig, Winston, has found himself at the centre of a Valentine’s Day love triangle as the farm prepares to reopen for its new season on Thursday (February 17).

Winston is a rare curly-coated mangalitza pig and his official mate is a female mangalitza called Clementine. They have produced over 30 entertaining piglets in the past two years since they became a star attraction at the farm.

Now a new love interest has caught Winston’s eye within the animal viewing barns. Marilyn, is a buxom blonde mangalitza who has been making eyes at Winston across the hay bales. As Valentine’s Day approached Winston became torn between two lovers, wallowing like a pig in mud in the affections of both passionate porkers!

Holmbush farmer Harry Calvert says: “All three really are great friends and we are encouraging the romance in the hope of yet more adorable piglets – they are always a favourite here on the farm. Seeing the new additions – piglets, kids and lambs as well as chicks and rabbits - is always a popular activity in the barns as the season progresses, so the more the merrier!”
