Hi to you all
Just a quick line to say hello. I've just ordered three Gloucester Old Spot x Duroc x Berkshire wearers and am excitedly awaiting their arrival in about three weeks. We live on about 5 acres in N.E Scotland, just near Elgin. Our land is largely mixed woodland which gets pretty jungly each summer, so this year we have finally taken the plunge (having often talked about it) of getting in some pigs to do their bit and help keep the woods clear.
I'm busy installing a three cable electric fence system to keep them in and divide up the woods into smaller areas. I have a very large old plastic oil tank sitting at home doing nothing, so that is going to have a door cut in it to make an arc. The pigs should be at home. They're coming down from Thurso, so they are right at the top of Scotland, hopefully they will enjoy life in Morayshire! - before the freezer !!
This forum is so good, have found so much useful information.
Cheers for now, Henry.
