Title: PIG FARM NEEDED
Post by: BrookfieldFarm on December 02, 2011, 09:07:57 am

Hi Everyone,

I'm a second year vet student at Bristol University. As part of my "pre-clinical experience" I have to undertake placements in dairy, lambing, small animal, horses and pigs. I have done everything up to Pigs!. I was just wondering if anybody knew of any LARGE (100+ sows) pig farms in the Shropshire/Powys area that would be willing to take on a hard working student for three weeks.

Any advice/help would be really appreciated!

we are in Shropshire and do not know of any pig farm that big around here - will ask around and let you know.  You are more than welcome to come to our farm and have some experience but only 5 sows, boar and about 40 growers  :wave:
