50 adults, 12 breeds, 3 litters a month. For a truly comprehensive pig course visit Oaklands Pigs. There’s loads to see. Oaklands Pigs have been running courses now, for 4 years with 100′s of satisfied customers from both the UK and as far a field as Japan and New Zealand. We aim to share all the tips and hints that we have learnt over the last 15 years of pig keeping, to help the novice set up right first time, but mostly so that you can get pleasure out of your experience with pigs. Not only does our course include a comprehensive 135 page manual with full colour photos, but we offer a back-up service for all course participants to answer all those questions you forgot to ask, or new questions as you move from say weaners to breeding, or when the time for slaughter comes.
