Hands on experience wanted, West Sussex
« on: July 31, 2015, 05:30:09 pm »
Is there anyone near Horsted Keynes, West Sussex that owns pigs and would let a keen wannabe pig owner get some experience?

I have a car so can travel but want it to be more than just a one off thing so don't want to go miles and miles :pig: :pig:
