Any

people out there insure their pigs?

The person we are tacking from does horsey livery - pigs are 3 fields away from the horses. The're not concerned about the piggies doing any damage, we have to maintain the field fencing & they're within electric fenced paddocks on rotation.

Got me thinking what if some ***** did pinch em after the heartache, could we afford to replace them?

we insure ours, mainly in case they escape and do damage to he village! 60 pigs on a rampage in our village would not be good! Also insured against theft and any problems with the retailing of the meat

Who do you have your policy with & does it cover them being stolen?

Out of interest, who do you insure pigs with? NFU? I might get a quote for ours this year as we'll hopefully be getting in to double figures.

we insure ours through a broker Longmynd Insurance, Shropshire who insures our whole farm, they are great as we have specialist needs with public liability, employers, tractors, JCB work etc etc

theft is included

Ok, think I've started something here

Do you think this is something we can ask Karen to add to her"to do list" - maybe special deals for SPKA Members? Sure she's got plenty of time on her hands at the mo ha ha ha

Found some websites in Smallholder mag (sorry in advance - are we allowed to mention retail stuff on here?) Ottery.co.uk seem to be offering something reasonable by their ad - also farmsure underwriters ltd advertising in the mag, will try them tomorrow & post back.

I use NFU covers a few things including liability and wandering.

My pigs are covered on our NFU policy in case they get out and do damage and i think also for theft, they had put pony on the policy but we asked if it could be changed to pig and i think they agreed.

mine are covered for third party and theft, death in transportation. max of £5000 per animal so i presume it would be market value. our policy covers all our cows, pigs, ponies etc. never made a claim tho - nfu
