OSB pigs - Cornwall

 :pig:
We have five young pigs left from three litters born in May so now 22 weeks old.  (4 gilts and 1 boar)  They are wormed and vaccinated to date and reared outdoors.  They will make lovely meat for Christmas - Housemove and decrease in land available is the main reason for sale and reasonable price!!  £50 each or if interested in all five will accept £200.00 :pig:

Hi Hillhead,
I'm in Cornwall too (just outside Constantine) and would love to have some pigs EXCEPT
a) my OH won't let me (why do we need and extra tie, he asks)
b) I've no experience of any livestock (only dogs, chickens and bees)
c) I've got fields but no shelters/arks etc
d) I probably like the idea more than the reality!

Good luck anyway!
