Two New Pigs Join the Family

ByJon

We have just taken on 2 more Kune Kune pigs from Liverpool. These pigs, Pepper and George kept frightening their owners horse so had to be rehomed.  At only 2 years old they are very lively and full of character.  For those of you who have met Rocky the Kune Kune they are nothing like him, they are much bigger and a lot more agile.

Thanks to Grenville at The Pig Sanctuary in Lincolnshire with his words of advice on pig bonding we have successfully managed to get these new additions living in perfect (well near perfect) harmony with our pot-belly pigs.  The 4 of them have done a grand job of rotovating about a quarter of an acre of field!

If you could offer these loveable pigs a home then give us a ring.

    This weekend we took Colin to his new, life-long home. We originally took in Colin in August this year, he was reported to have been a stray. He wasn’t castrated, so we needed to sort that out, to get him ready for rehoming. Male pigs need to be castrated, this makes them less boisterous but…

Before being returned to the fields they’ll be vaccinated, wormed and hooves trimmed.Now they are ready for this lovely sunshine!
