Hi

I'm Heather, we are starting out trying to be a little more self sufficient. We have a 1 1/2 acre field about 20 mins from our house were we are growing fruit and veg, we have 15 chickens at home and this weekend get our first 3 weaners !!!!!

Wow, it has all happened so quick its is brilliant. Little nervous about the pigs I must admit not sure how they will go down with the neighbours, but we have to give it a go.

So watch out for me I am bound to have loads and loads of questions.

Hi
Welcome to the site, dont be nervous of piggies they are just so lovely. What breed are you getting? I remember my first pigs, I was thrilled but I started with fully grown Mangalitzas slightly crazy really as we were complete novices.

Where are you ?

Hello magpiefeather, and welcome.

Don't worry about your pigs, you'll be fine, and you know where to come to ask for help.

Hi

Thanks for the welcome

Aren't Pigs great, it feels like they have always been here and the garden looks so right with them (hope that makes sense !)

!!!

The neighbours have bee fine ..... so far, one loves them so hopefully should have no problems, especially as she is the one that is closest to them.

I have a couple of questions but I have posted them on the pig section.

See you around
Heather
