Help Feed A Pig!
Our breeding pair of pigs are British Landrace named Liss & Larry. British Landrace are a large breed of pig and although they look like your "classic" pig do not befooled this breed are actually classed as "Endangered" despite being one of the most popular breeds of pig in the U.K.
It is a bit of a myth that pigs will eat anything and in fact some can be quite picky, with new laws to protect any livestock from terrible disease it is actually illegal to feed any Pig, Sheep, Cow, Alpca, Goat and even Chickens any form of kitchen waste or food that has been within a kitchen environment.
So, what do we feed these greedy little piggies?
- Hard feed-This is a special nut that contains all the goodness pigs need to grow big & healthy.
- Bedding-Although the pigs have lovely big runs to stretch their legs in we have to ensure they can keep cosy and warm inside their houses called Arcs, this is done with a nice thick straw bed.
So, how much does this cost?
On average currently to just feed all our pigs (including Lissys last litter of piglets) for a week this would cost £55
- An £8 donation would feed 1 adult pig for 1 week.
- £10 donation would keep one Arc cosy and warm for a week.
