Pig Workshop
Rare and traditional pigs are what Emma and I like to keep, there are many reasons why this is, amongst them is the fact that if we don't, these breeds many become extinct, there is also the fact that these types of pig are ideally suited to a smallholding setup, they are very comfortable outside...given the right environment, the taste is unmatched by any commercial breed and they are a pleasure to watch.
Our workshop will cover all the basics of outside pig rearing and will cover the following topics:
General Advise
Housing - including bedding, ark material, buy or make.
Fencing - types that work, specific requirements for specific pigs
Feed - a pig nuts guide and some alternatives.
General Health
When you leave us you should have good basic understanding of raising your own free range rare breed outdoor pigs.
The workshop starts around 10am through to 4pm lunch and refreshments will be included and will cost £45.00 per person.
