Berkshire Pigs
Podge has been best of breed or reserve best of breed at all her shows last year, qualifying for the Berkshire championships at Newbury in September.
Trevor is one of our stars for last year, qualifiying for Young Pig of the Year championships at Malvern, and Berkshire championships at Newbury in September.
Podge continued to do well, at our final show last season at Newbury, she won the Supreme championship, and to top that also won the champion of champions. Really excited.
We also had some success with our pork pigs!

if you would like to reserve any from the litters, they do get sold quite quickly, but there's more on the way.
We have never had any problem with raising boars for meat if they are not mixed in with the gilts, in fact they tend to be bigger and leaner.
