Hiya & welcome from a very wet West Scotland

We have Kune Kunes (plus piglets

Welcome from a finally dry & sunny day in north Cumbria

BH is out cutting grass. Hurrah!!! This last few days BH has stood for Bear with sore Head...

We're beef & sheep farmers, smallholding on the side - Jersey house cow, pig (hopefully soon to be plural), Fell & Dales ponies, a few choox. No ducks as the mink took all my beautiful Muscovies and I can't bear to have that happen again. 3 working collies.

What sort of piggies are you getting?

Hopefully we will be getting either Berkshire's or Oxford sandy & black pigs but at the moment i cant find either within an hour of us, If anyone knows of any i would appreciate being pointed in the right direction.

Cheers

Richard

You could try a posting on the pig forum on here Richard, alternatively have a look at the Breed websites - they usually list contact details of their members.

I think Truffle's in your part of the world, she got some OSB weaners I think? Don't know how near or far the breeder is - if she pops in, ask her!

My girl is an OSB and is hopefully in pig to a Saddleback. Due September. But I am WAY more than an hour from you!
