My guys and gals know that it is me, and definately know when I have veg! They are always more skittish whne it is not just me in the sheds and they are also more vocal.
Strangest thing is Crimp and Harrison -Kiki (who is one of sophies sponsor pigs) came in pregnant and had two boys here, I saw them born and cared for them every day for six months until they found a home, they come back to stay while their Mum is on holiday and they refuse to talk to me running away acting generally skittish and grumpy just wanting food and not much cudling but as soon as their mum comes round the back to collect them they run up to her sitting still to be picked up and get cuddles so yes I would definately say they know who their piggy mums are. Shirley spoils them rotten and they have al ovely home with her and boy do they appreciate it they only have eyes for their mummy now, I am just an afterthought (which is kinda nice in a strange way
)

Without doubt they can recognise people. The more interaction you have with them the more they respond to you.

They can definitely recognise and remember different people.
My first lot, who I let roam free in the garden over winter for short supervised daily "walkies" came bounding up to me right across the garden as soon as they heard me putting up the run for the first in spring and couldn't get back in fast enough!
Definitely a good memory!
