hi lynne
thanks for the welcome
i have an area fenced of with 6' high chain link at home that i think would do the job, but as yet i dont know how much damage pigs would do to the fencing or if i need a smallholder licence or anything else.

Hi even with chain link fencing I would be inclined to add a single strand of electric for reassurance.

You do need a holding number to keep pigs. Contact DEFRA (sp?)

I dont know, it isnt here (France) you need a holding number and a herd number for each type of animal, I imagine it would be the same there. Rosemary is the person to answer this one.

Not daft questions at all. Your holding number is CPH - County Parish Holding number and looks like 74/210/0059 If your property has one of these, you are registered as an agricultural holding. If you get pigs, sheep or cattle you will need a herd / flock / herd number, which you get from Animal Health.

Hope this helps.

Hi nigel - Ian here - you must be so close to me as i am also in gainsborough as well . I dont have any land at present but a passion to learn and to aquire some land at some point either localor away from the area in the near future. Imjust thinking if you are maybe close to a campsite?? my ex and i stayed a lot at a campsite the other side of hemswell on way to lincoln and we always heard huskys on neighbouring land ?? maybe thats you ?

Sorry to hear about work - My heart has not been in my work for a long time im self employed and i have had a pretty horrible 12months which others here on the forum know all aboutand its great to see you on here truly as i look forward to keeping in touch with you.

Everybody on here will guide you through all you need to know.

Thanks for the tractor offer - i will be in touch in a seperate email on that - I cant believe you are so local.

I will be in touch very shortly -thank you thank you
