Welcome, Cameron.  Don't know what age you are (or them ) but there are youngsters communicating with each other on a separate thread if you are interested.

Hello everyone again, i'm 15,
 
We stay in north east fife in the st.andrews area, and it's very wet at the moment!

Pigs are still on track but dad wants a new garrage first!!!!!! booo, well atleast we might have land spare,
how much space exactly do the need, i've read about 1/2 an acre for 2?

Hi Cameron, 1/2 acre for 2 is fine.  You might find it helpful to read through all the posts in the pig section, will give you a far greater insight into pig keeping than any book.  I am sure it will also harden your determination to keep pigs.
