Hi, I live in Fife and we are really interested in getting a couple of pigs.  For first timers like us, would December not be a bit cold if we didnt have a barn to keep them warm in? ???

Nah - our last ones were born in a blizzard in February!  Just need good shelter and they'll be fine and I can tell you where we got ours from.  They're hairier than you'd think!

Give me a call if you'd like to discuss further.  I'll pm you my number.

Thanks!  ;D

Just to say that ours are fenced in with two low electrified wires.  No probs keeping them in although the first two times they went through at a fair pace so didn't really get a shock....
