Hello both,
I used to have 8 pedigree old spots breeding sows and boar but now I'm down to one old spot sow, and a few growers. I'm looking to add to her as we look to up our numbers again, which pigs do you keep?

in reply to your question, we raise Oxford Sandy and Blacks. Just 2-3 weaners each year as we don't have enough land to have breeding sows.


Whereabouts are you?

Hi and welcome to the forum :wave: there is lots of brilliant advice on this forum which may help you.
All the best
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

I'm based in Axminster so I'm in Devon but 5 miles from the Somerset border and 5 miles from the Dorset border. We had some oxfords years ago lovely friendly pigs
