I am so glad that this has been resolved so well in, this instance.
But I agree with Wendy - what on earth was the "breeder" thinking of (apart from the obvious £    ) selling piglets of this cross-breeding to a school?    For that matter, what were they thinking of making such a bizzaire x-breeding in the first place 
School Farmer - if you are going to get some new pigs in the future, please contact the BKKPS who will be able to sign-post you to a responsible breeder, who will provide you with ongoing support & aftercare (you can also join as a member without owning pigs first - the website is full of helpful advice).  There are some other "newer to the UK" recognised breeds that are also fairly small & Wendy or Rispain will be able to provide you with some more info if you PM them.

Well I've seen piccies  of them and they look like kune kunes rather than crosses..... and I'd say about 103kilo's.... I say this because we have a Kune Kune (Mr Darcey from The Only Way is Essex no less!) at my city farm and he weigh 103 kilos and they look like him..... They are VERY VERY VERY fat..... would anyone be thinking of eating piggies such as this..... I am assuming they would only be good for sausages..... they are REALLY REALLY fat and it will take ages to get this off without it being cruel.  I'm going to put them in a large outside paddock.... for now

KC is that the big white with a lid outside paddock.

I wish! just picked them up

1. not domesticated
2. not bucket trained and stroppy
3... just wait till I post the photo
4. I'd say 130 kilos.

an hour and a half and a few "benny hill" moments to load them 

old adage..... if it looks too good to be true.... it probably is....

They are kunes and MAAHOOSIVE.

I'll do photos tomorrow

Lady disposing of the was lovely, but they came with less instruction than an ikea shelf unit

But look at it from the pigs point of view  They've lived in one place all their lives, suddenly someone they don't recognise comes in with a really scary looking metal box and expects them to get in it, chases you round for a while (becoming increasingly frustrated along the way  ) then takes you somewhere you don't recognise, no familiar smells or sights ........ you'd not be feeling your best either 

Just saying   

Give them a couple of days to settle in and they might be different - looking forward to the pics  (If you can't figure out how to resize them you can email them to me and I'll post them for you if you want)
