i have 6 pigs its our first year and we just love them we have 2 tamsworth some people don't like the breed they can squeal alot lol
That's not just Tamworth's - that's ALL pigs, just wait til you're late with breakfast
Anything with sticking up ears has the advantage of being able to hear far more than the floppy ears, and they do hear you and boy can they shout when they feel like it !
Pigs are fantastic, and intelligent and very rewarding to keep and while it's great to have them tame and friendly, if they are destined to be pork eventually you've got to keep that in the back of your mind or it can make it harder on you when 'the time' comes.
But yeah, to get them tame just sit in their paddock with a pocket or wee bag full of fruit, within 5 minutes they'll be over to investigate and about 5 minutes after that they'll be literally eating out of your hand which does make it so much easier if you need to do anything with them
