Title: Hello from Lincolnshire
Post by: smith032 on October 27, 2011, 10:41:40 am

Hi, my name is Laura and we live in Lincolnshire. We have Lincoln Red Cattle and are looking at getting a few pigs (see my post on the pig forum).
Really quite new to livestock as my husband deals them but now have decided that I really shoulod get more involved and that pigs would be a great place to start!!!

Another welcome from North Yorkshire on a very grey day!

I'm sure you'll be as amazed as I was by the help provided by the members on this site.

Best of luck with the new pigs.  :wave:

Hi and welcome from Carnoustie!

Hope all goes well with the KKs and you get them home safe.

They do taste nice too - HappyHippy on here raises them for meat and KK pork is delicious.

Kids are usually tougher and less sentimental than adults, if they know from the beginning that they're for sausages and bacon. In fact, most kids are bloodthirsty wee brutes  ;D

I know we have our own Lincoln Red Cows that we grow for beef that we sell through our farm shop and the youngest can't get enough steak :yum: :yum:
