Hello All

I'm Paul from Suffolk. Last year a small group (6 family's) in the Village where I live got together and we had some British Lop pigs. We got them as weaners and grew them to around 200kg dead weight. The 6 family's involved had a great time, and learned a lot. Following this success we next got 13 Norfolk Black Turkeys last year and grew them ready for Christmas (the last few will attend respective Easter celebrations). Finally about 7 weeks ago we received 3 new weaners, (1x Saddle back, & 2 x Tamworth x SB, all gilts)

The above is possible as we are a community working together. I work very hard in my day job and travel a lot mainly abroad.

Best to all.

Hi Paul, and welcome.

Curiously where and when did you get your norfolk blacks?

Sounds like a great idea to pool work and rewards.
