Free pigs
« on: May 19, 2009, 11:41:42 am »
 I  bought these  beautiful creatures with the intention of raising my own pork... however 1 yr on and I still cannot  find it in my heart to eat the weaners!
I end up giving the piglets away to friends .. and this is driving my poor husband round the bend ! he is from a farming background and I am a soft towny... however I see nothing wrong in raising your own meat . in fact it is a much healthier/kinder way for the animal, however I cannot change my nature. I choose instead to buy freerange British meat.

the boar is 18mth old
the sow is 2 yrs

I live on a smallholding in West Wales .. FOR ANY MORE INFO PLZ CALL ME ON 07800596636
