Title: Hello all from Aberdeenshire :)
Post by: greengumbo on March 17, 2015, 10:07:55 am

Hi Everyone,

Bit of a lurker here and have found it very useful. About to add to our growing number of animals - bees, chickens, children - and get some pigs for rearing. Excited but a bit wary of it all.

Will be bombarding the forum with questions soon !

Cheers

GG

 :wave: Hello from Moray - we are between Elgin and Forres, so not too far from you. we're also just about to embark on pig keeping, three wearers ordered and on their way in April - very excited and looking forward to a groaning freezer in the autumn! What breed are you going for and where from? Hope all goes well for you:pig: :pig:

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :)

We are near Udny so not too far from you guys. We are getting some tamworth x large black weaners in May from someone down south of Aberdeen.

Excited !

Hi from Moray - we're out in the country between Elgin & Forres - we keep cattle, though we have done sheep and pigs in the past. (I think the cattle are easier than the rest)

Good luck with your pig thing.


Sue.
