We are very privileged to have the support of the York Brewery. The brewers supply our pigs with malted barley which supplements their diet. By feeding our pigs a wider range of food, they are healthier and happier. Thank you to the Brewery for the past few years of support.

As pedigree breeders, we are members of the Oxford Sandy and Black pig Society. The Society was formed in 1985 by a group of enthusiasts who realised that the future of the Oxford Sandy & Black depended upon proper documentation and identification. Breed standards were set and all pigs inspected and recorded. Membership of the Society is open to all those with an interest in the breed, whether they keep pigs or not. For more information or pictures of the breed, visit the society website.
