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?

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
