OUR FAMOUS BRITISH SADDLEBACK PIGS

- who live life on the wildside -

We started in 1987 with two British Saddleback gilts. We now have around 200 sows and 13 boars, which between them produce about 3000 piglets a year.

This is what our longest serving boar who resolutely carries out his duty with a smile on his face, says is so special about his life:

“We have:
• Great views
• Fresh air
• Nice neighbours
• Interesting diet, and
• Our offspring get to suckle from Mum until they are 2 months old, and then stay with their brothers or sisters,
munching on pastures of luscious clover and rooting for grubs

“NONE of those awful:

• farrowing crates; teeth cutting, tail docking or castration rituals that we hear some of our contemporaries suffer”

The recent snow was a real test for pig manager, Chris, and his team, but the pigs seemed to love it! You can see some great pics via our PIG CHILL link on the home page - or just click here http://www.helenbrowningorganics.co.uk/our_farm/big_chill_gallery.phtml
