Hi my name is Dave and me and my friend Gemma have just got 6 8wk old saddle back sows for meat and bacon. first time venturing into pig keeping so please bear with me if i ask silly questions.
I also have an allotment so they will be well fed with fresh fruit and veg.

Cheers Hippy.

Hi Dave
Me & Hubby have also just started with pigs - With us it's large blacks (A few minor hiccups, as explained on my intro...) We're in Norfolk, It's nice to know we're not the only people new to keeping pigs & asking silly questions!
