The beginnings of this years show team, Jamie, Alice and Gracie
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 last year, and continued by winning again this year!
Our Berkshire boars
I am willing to let the boys out on loan to suitable registered herds to keep them working
Tentrees Namatjira - BJ
He seems to have gone off the boil this autumn, with no sows in pig. I will get him tested. Such a shame as he has been really productive.
Alkington Peter Lad - Gareth New young boar to refresh the herds breedline. He has been running with Saffy and Penny, hopefully he can be distracted from food to attend to the girls!
Fernlea Orlando - Elton
A new breedline to the herd. He has just produced a litter with Willow, two of these are in this years show team. Now expecting litters from Rowan, Luna later in the spring and Katie, Willow due in May.
He has been covering for BJ

Please
contact us
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.
