If I put pigs in to clear it I will spray it first to kill the ivy and bracken and rake out as much as possible. The idea is to thin the woodland out and allow more light to encourage the grass area to spread. Removing the nettles and bracken will also allow us to sow some sheep pasture seed and encourage some nice herbage in there.
There isnt much in there right now in the way of nice grass so any pigs put in there will be fed hay and veg / fruit. I want them to rotavate it not ruin it through hunger.
I have visited two Kune kune keepers so far to check out the breed and I must say that they seem to vary quite a bit. Seems good breeding stock could be hard to obtain.
I have come up with a plan for the wallowing area so I just need fencing and accommodation. I think all this will be easier than finding the right pigs though.
