No pigs at present, but we kept Tammies for YEARS, and none of ours were aggressive (perhaps because they knew us well). We never needed to upset the piglets either. Most sows will get cross if you make their babies cry (and piglets do make a LOT of noise when you scare them). We kept Tammie sows and a Cornish Lop boar. We lost the boar after a couple of years, and the only replacement we could get was a Landrace. He was so long in the body that it affected how he walked, which is why we called him Daisy (I'm sure you get the picture). Lots of hardy, healthy piglets, which grew into highly saleable meat. We did have one Berkshire sow, and bred some Tamworth cross piglets. We kept 2 sows and a boar from that litter. Copper was VERY tame, and lived mainly in the fields with the sheep, apart from Lambing time.
