Keeping Pigs

[nick the grief]

Don't wanna keep chooks but think I might get 3 or 4 weaners next year. Anyone out there experienced in keeping pigs outside. ?

Go for lop eared ones as they are a bit more docile than prick eared as the ears act as blinkers so they don't get spooked. My daughter wants a Gloucester Old spot and a Tamworth but Mrs G says no

I can echo what was said about good stock fencing, my wife's bos had to weaners given to him for a birthday present and they wrecked a chook shack, and went thru the fence like it wasn't there !!!as well as churned up the ground with their snouts

What do you fancy, rare breed or commercial jobs?

I'd love to keep a 'Stone age pig' but unfortunately we're only allowed chooks at the allotments,

I could do with one on my plot at the moment as it's a disaster this year - I just haven't been able to get down We're not allowed livestock - miserable gits

I am looking at Tamworth crosses as a mate of mine in our local producers group (which runs the Farmers Market at Dornoch) keeps these on his croft.
