AGNES'S BLACKS AND BLACK CRESTED
THE BLACKS/BLACK CRESTED.
Recently Glenwhilk Cavies has brought in some self blacks, we aim to breed some nice black cresteds for the show season next year. Thanks to Chris Briggs and Craig Patterson for some nice Sows. I would also like to thank Johnny and Ali (Cotherstone Cavies) who gave us a lovely little black sow. Ebony is developing very well indeed she is one of our little characters in the shed,she likes to eat,eat,eat,a short cuddle from us and lets us know when she wants back to her best pal SOOTY. Sooty is one of our first black girls, she is blind and holds a special place in our hearts.
