Hi All,

My name is Jimmy Galloway and new to breeding pigs, I live in Ireland and have 13 Wild Boar, I am hoping I can pick up some tips from the more experienced breeders.

Cheers.

Hello from herts,

I look forward to reading some wild boar stories. I imagine they are quite tricky to look after

Hi and welcome to the forum from Ceredigion! It all sounds very interesting.... I have a friend who keeps wild boar and crosses them with gloucester old spot  and sells the meat, its fab! He does say they are tricky to keep and I have heard many a funny tail told (see what I did there? :roflanim:). All the best with em and be prepared for us asking loads of Q's on the subject :D

Hello from 'across the water'  :wave:
Been keeping/breeding pigs for 10 years (not had wild boar even though the piglets are SUPER cute!) but we're having a winter off this year... Ask away and if I can help, I will  :)
