Hi there-I have two castrated males-Paddy and Charlie! They live in around 2 acres of wooded ground and have a garden shed as their shelter! I got them from Karen in Lesmahagow-you might see some posts from the Happy Hippy above? They are wonderful little pigs and very easy to handle-they come running when I whistle for them!As a complete novice I was a little nervous but they have given us all so much joy and I would thoroughly recommend them!

I should have figured that out  :dunce: :roflanim:

Here's a 'baby pic' Eileen sent of Paddy & Charlie when they were around 6 months old (hope you don't mind missus ? I'll maybe put on the most recent one you sent too, if you've no objections ? )

Hello and welcome :wave:

We also had two Yonderton KKs - we called them Ant and Dec, but we're eating them now. Loved them - got another two on order for this summer  :sunshine:

Karen has told me they are good to eat-but I will stick with the apple sauce-too much of a lightweight to even consider it!!-enjoy :pig:
