i have access to a friends walled woodland and i was at work and was given a pig that needed a home,i was going to start in spring with a bit more reaserch,course at reaseheath ag college ect and all of a sudden its happening too fast and i dont want to make too many huge mistakes.ive kept chickens ducks geese and turkeys and quail,so have some knowledge/experience about keeping livestock ive just joined the forum ,and wrote a post about fencing,so i devided to read old posts,now ive scared myself silly.
any advice will be very helpful as its just gone a bit quickly from planning to doing,but i have read a fair bit and done some research but reading actual experiances is scary.
any advice /help is gratefully recieved,as it is happening now,the holding number applied for, the paperwork starting, the pig waiting to arrive, a big white one ,i was going to get gos or similar,but this one is a handreared pet so im starting here,and now the ball is rolling down the hill.
ive read about bracken being poisonous,so do i need to cut it down,brambles being a pain. and escaping pigs it is an overgrown woodland of about 4 acres or more walled off on 3 sides and fenced off on one,5ft wall,5ft fence and a quarry wall.
cheers and i know itl be worth it, i just am nervous.
