Not content with our 3 chickens bought last week, my husband has now ordered 2 tamworth piglets! We went to see them today and they were lovely little animals. They're 4 weeks old, so will have them in 2 or 3 weeks. Anyone know anything about keeping pigs??? My husband was brought up on a farm, but this is all new to me!! I think it'll be a goat next or sheep Back to top milkmaid Joined: 19 Apr 2005 Posts: 6914 Location: isle of lewis Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2006 4:12 pm    Post subject: 2 goats ,then you can use the milk to cheaply fatten the pigs sounds as if you are well on your way pigs are lovely Back to top Itsybitsy Joined: 11 Feb 2006 Posts: 1325 Location: Leicestershire Posted: Fri Oct 06, 2006 2:49 pm    Post subject: They taste even nicer than they look Itsybitsy Back to top CP Moderator Joined: 13 Apr 2005 Posts: 14858 Location: Hampshire Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2006 12:30 am    Post subject: Ostrich?
