gilts to nuzzle my hand

Pigs
James Buchan
Sometimes, standing in the small wood that shields my house from the north, I whisper the word ‘Pigs!’ Within a second, bursting from the laurels, alert and obedient as no dog could be, come a pair of Gloucester Old Spot gilts to nuzzle my hand. (2001)

gilts

Boar or hog, male pig of breeding age. Barrow, male pig castrated before puberty. Stag, male pig castrated later in life (an older boar after castration). Gilt, young female not yet mated, or not yet farrowed, or after only one litter (depending on local usage).
