It is usual not to stock at more than 8 sows per acre but you need 2 they are social animals and do not do good alone and can be extremely grumpy on their own :D :farmer:

Hello Max I am sure in my mind that the two pigs you get will have a wonderfull life ploughing and making all sorts of mess in your pig field.I hope you have a nice little "Dutch Barn" In the field for them snooze under in the shade out of the sun The silly things won't go in the sty/ark to snooze they will sooner get sun stroke/burn. They do, just like you or I and it upsets them just as much too ;D :farmer: :wave:

Put a bale of straw in and cut the bands (don't ever leave Poly Propalene band about they will try to eat it sill things).Don't spread the straw they love shacking it about and making a nest you see if they don't. :D :farmer: :wave:
