Title: Prefect
Post by: Rosemary on December 29, 2011, 09:41:47 pm

Hello, knowledgeable piggy peeps

I've received a query about the term "prefect" means in relation to boars. Anyone clarify for me? I assume it doesn't mean he's a well behaved 6th Former  ::)

Thank you!

Blewitt Prefect is one of the Saddlebacks used by Deepark.  Reading up about him, I came to the conclusion that 'Prefect' is the boar strain. 

But someone who knows will be along soon, no doubt!

Prefect is one of the British Saddleback bloodlines for boars, so would expect this is the answer.

prefect is one of the more common boar lines in saddelbacks  they all take turns at flooding the market with a boar line      jumping on the bandwagon springs to mind :farmer:
