Title: Grazing pig
Post by: harry on October 01, 2019, 04:48:13 pm

I was on holiday down West this year in a caravan next  to a field   There was a horse and a pig in a field, the pig was a grazer, no digging or holes anywhere. I kept kunes before, advised they were grazers but mine dug and turned topsoil over dont want them again as grass is now ok. Anyone know what the grazing pig was.

Photo? Description?


All pigs dig. It's what pigs do. All pigs graze. Some graze more than others.


Pigs dig virgin ground more than old ground that has been dug for several years with nothing left in it worth digging for. They dig more at certain times of year.


It was probably a kune but that is a complete guess and with no clues you have asked a question no-one knows the answer to.

I know of someone who has a kune and it just eats the grass. Maybe yours had a bit of something else in them  ;)
