Hi everybody, my other half and I keep a few chucks, some ducks, geese and oxford sandy black pigs. The pigs are for meat at the moment but we are thinking about breeding them as they are such friendly pigs. We live in North Cornwall not far from Bude. we have used this forum for information before so thought it was about time that we joined in the fun.

Cheer,s Shirley

Hello from west-wales too

Are these pigs your first lot of pigs? or have you done them/this breed before?

Hi shirley

I'm in north Cumbria now, but was in north Devon before I came up here five years ago. We farm, and I do smallholding on the side - an OSB sow and three Saddleback crosses from her first litter growing on for the freezer, a Jersey house cow, just bought some Castlemilk Moorit wethers for fleece and meat.

Welcome to the forum

Sally
