there was a court case in Scotland in which it was proved that there were no wild boar in Scotland (going by the true definition) however you have to have them securely fenced in and they take longer to mature with less piglets per litter and they are very aggressive not to be taken for granted even if you have been used to pigs especially if they have piglets

what are those at aviemore wildlife park? and ate wildboar sausage in aviemore restaurant. seen tam x wild boar in ad in paper.

the last time i was at aviemore was 76 tam/wild boar is the wrong way round it should be wild boar sows / gilts crossed with tamworth we had them so are not talking s###e we know somebody that has them he has the licence the fencing that complies with keeping them and the carry on getting them in to sell and its not every slaughter house that takes them however every obstacle can be overcome

interesting. maybe in 10 yrs (lol) why w/b sows and not other way round? are they crossed with tams to increase size? was at aviemore 5 yrs back, had wildboar and piglets then, we went to see the wolves but they must have been hiding, was snowing then aswell!! if wed bin a day later we'd have got stuck there for 3 weeks!!

If you are going to keep wild boar you'll need a dangerous animal licence - a quick google will tell you all you need to know

I looked a while back, but think I must've forgotten it all ! I know you need REALLY SECURE fencing and all sorts of red tape and legislation - I was quite quickly put off just by that ! I think it was Hilary's mum who said they're fairly 'bitey' and very good at escaping. $:-\$
IF, you're going to go for it, I'd suggest fattening and slaughtering a couple first, just to give you a chance to see how they are to handle and what they actually taste like. Just trying to be the voice of reason lol!

its been back of mind for 5 years. beta wait until kids can run a bit faster tho!!

well thats the thing with o/h and myself its up to you to decide
no hybrids just crosses i thought you were cornering this aspect
Richard overend should answer this it is not for me to comment on a stalwart of tamworth breed

princesspiggy · « **Reply #57 on:** December 22, 2010, 06:55:42 pm »

i must be a bit thick here.
i thot a tam x w/b was a hybrid, like a wolfxdog is a hybrid? am i wrong here?

robert waddell · « **Reply #58 on:** December 22, 2010, 08:00:10 pm »

possibly the first cross could be considered a hybrid
then you have no back up IE paperwork only word of mouth and we all know how relliable that is
every time it is crossed with the tamworth it is less than it was and more tamworth is it still a hybrid or threequarter tamworth or dolly mixture depends if you are buyer seller or observer
