Good Afternoon Everyone
For those who attended the last meeting, i mentioned about one of the members of the group who has very kindly invited us to her holding.
Kate Morris of Ballymara Pigs in Ongar, Essex has offered alongside her vet Lauren Hammond from Royston Vets, to offer a practical pig keeping session at her house.
Please see Kate's website link below.
Kate has ten breeding sows and two boars split between Berkshire and Oxford Sandy and Black Pigs.
They are going to hopefully give us a practical demonstration on Castration, Artifical Insemination as well as other pig husbandry. But we all need to do is keep our fingers crossed for timings to work!
I have had 15 people who would like to attend following the meeting last Tuesday and Kate is happy for another 10 people to come long, this is on a first come first served basis.
I will ask for everyone to make a £5 donation
The scheduled date is Saturday 17th September 2011 at 9.30am for a couple of hours.
If you would like to attend and you didn't fill out a slip at the last meeting, please can you email me.
