Robespierre, Herbert and Bruno          

 7^TH August 2004 - 7^TH March 2005

We have also had three piglets called Robespierre, Herbert and Bruno. We either buy in weaners from a reputable supplier or breed our own. These pigs were bought in from Scarborough and after having lived inside for 2 weeks moved outside to one of our areas. Each area has an ark and clean water and also hard-standing, bushes and mud to play in. We believe pigs are happiest  outside so we strive to maintain 4 areas for porcine pleasure!

Robespierre was a very special pig as he was adopted aged 8 weeks by Mr Mike Weare. Mike opted to buy the pig, name him, then share in the final product with friends.
