I like Tamworths too - not as much as my Large Blacks though  ;) 
I think there are just breeds that suit people and situations better than others - you need to go a wee bit with your gut  :innocent:
I hope you didn't think I was being cheeky with my reply Sokel - and I wish you luck with your search for a good pig to start your venture into breeding, it is hard work sometimes, but the piglets are sooooo worth it  :thumbsup:

I'm taking some nice January and September gilts to the Yorkshire Show that'll be for sale, if you fancy a couple of hours' drive!
