Title: New kid on the block
Post by: kevkev57 on September 02, 2008, 11:33:52 am

Hi there,

I live in the Belgian Ardennes, close to the French border. We keep the usual crew, chickens , geese, ducks, rabbits,sheep for meat. I am just about to venture into the world of pigs, so will need some help.

I want to import some rare breeds at some stage, from the UK. I am looking for taste and quality over and above quantity.

Look forward to joining in here.

Kevin

Hi and welcome from us in Brittany.

Good luck in your adventures,just a question, why import rare breeds from UK?  Here in France some of us have rare breed pigs that are fully registered with the BPA.

Cheers
Carole
