Title: Pig Keeper/Smallholder
Post by: poacher724 on January 29, 2014, 02:37:32 pm

Afternoon all, I'm Ray and keep two Berkshire sows and a boar. They are really my sons but he left the nest to go uni and has not come home.... he lives away on a farm where he works. Looking forward to looking through the site  :wave:
