I Am! ;D
Hi everyone, that headline must have got your attention?
We are in Buckinghaamshire, and despite being relative newcomers to rare breed pigs, have managed to accumulate a fairly respectable sized herd of sows and boars with which to work.
It appears that a lot of people see fit to register when they have stock to sell, questions to ask etc...........this makes us different, we have nothing to sell untill next week! ;D ;D
On a serious note, this website has a nice friendly feel to it and if I can offer any assistance to others on this forum it will be my pleasure to try!
Kind Regards All

Just moved 3 Berkshires and 3 G.O.S that are due for departure Monday, into the paddock with 2 Tamworths in also due for departure Monday! Tamworths promptly destroy pig wire and depart through fence into another paddock! I only repaired it in readyness this morning!

Hi and welcome from dry Carnoustie :wave:
The flooding is now subsiding in our field - made it to the hens in boots rather than wellies and only the bottom of my jeans got wet. Been lovely here today, although overcast. Birds were giving it laldy and it really felt like spring. Consequently, I'm bushed.
Hope you enjoy the forums - we aim to keep things positive and be supportive and helpful to all.

Hi and welcome from the Scottish Borders where the mud is halfway up the wellies, only plus side is that my pigs wont be arriving until the middle of april at the earliest so hopefully things will have dried up by then.

Hello and welcome from north west Leicestershire. Our bottom field is just getting trashed by horses and pigs are digging for Australia! Totally sick of it!

We only have our gravel covered garden and were we walk the dogs is in the Forest and thats not too bad as its hardcore paths, I am happy with the rain just now as (1) my scruffy car looks a little bit cleaner and (2) Its filling up the pond that i half emptied!!!!! Know what you mean about mud though!!!!!! Its a wonder theres not more posts about foot rot in smallholders ;) ;) Ooops, WELCOME!!

Hi, At least you have rain which will soak in quickly , we have snow and it lasts for ages and also blocks the road out of our village, house bound again, roll on SUMMER. Cheers chrispy in Bulgaria :wave:

Hi from Aberdeenshire, my fields are trying to become wellie thieves and almost succeeding!! OUr mud is horrific, was supposed to be taking 2 of my horses to the royal northern spring show next week but, not with this mud, no access to stabling, no hardstanding, think I would be in with a chance of winning muddiest horses.
Raining again today, keep us posted on your piggies!
