Title: Looking for weaners in Yorkshire
Post by: durhamv on April 09, 2014, 03:22:15 pm

Hi,

We have recently decided that we would like a couple of pigs to keep at our small holding along with our ponies, sheep and dogs.
Is there anyone in Yorkshire that has any?? We would love Old spots or saddle back but open to other breeds.
Any advice and tips welcome as never had pigs before.

Many thanks

Mandy does very good pigs - saw them at the Royal Three Counties when I was stewarding the judging last year.

Thanks MF your boy was a grand fella too!
This batch of piglets are real crackers, little chunky monkeys full of mischief and eating us out of house & home!
