Pigs
Pigs are a new addition to Carr Farm. We currently have a Large Black sow who has recently had a litter of pure Large Black piglets.
Large Black pigs are on the Rare Breeds Survival Trust watchlist and are classed as vulnerable. They are a docile lop-eared animal. They do well in traditional outdoor pig production systems.
We keep our pigs outdoors with access to a deep straw pen at all times, they are able to exhibit all of their natural behaviours such as rooting and nest building. Our sow is able to move freely with her piglets and it is wonderful to watch her rear her young in the most natural way possible.
We are members of the British Pig Association and the Large Black Pig Breeders Club
