Introduction to Pig Keeping

Saturday 15th September 2012

This one day course is aimed at those who would like to keep a pig or two but don’t know where to start.

We will cover all the aspects from where and how to buy, through feeding, housing, fencing, basic health and welfare and how to assess readiness of pigs for slaughter.  Transporting and licensing basics will also be discussed, together with any other topics of relevant interest.

The course will run from 10am to 4pm and lunch and refreshments will be provided.  Full notes to take away are provided too and we can also help arrange local B&B for those coming a distance.  Cost will be £75 for the day

To book, please email beechhayes@aol.com . There are only 10 places available so book now to avoid disappointment.  A booking deposit of £15 is required and group discounts are negotiable.
