Our British Saddleback pigs were all put in together and moved on to a rested paddock today. We have two sows and a boar at present. They will probably stay like this over winter but if all the three pig paddocks become water-logged, as has been the case for the last two winters, we now have space to bring them indoors until it dries out again. Hopefully we won't have to resort to this as Saddlebacks much prefer to be free-ranging and rooting about the soil. All being well one of the sows, who has been with the boar for a few weeks, will be in-pig and can be brought into the farrowing house when the time arrives in the new Year.
