| Katsotuimmat - Tamworth & Berkshire Pigs |
Our Oldest Pig1178 katseluaThis pig is a cross between an Iron Age pig (itself a cross between a Tamworth and a wild boar) and a Gloucester Old Spot. She must be nearing 16 or 17 years old, but she's still the fastest pig we have.

Gloucester Old Spot Sow1176 katseluaA farmer brought this sow, and another, to become impregnated by our Tamworth boar. He's just never come to pick them up --- or their piglets. We are looking for a good home for the sows and Tamworth/GOS cross piglets.

Westbrook Enjoying a Beer1175 katseluaIt's a hot summer afternoon, and our Berkshire pigs (kurobuta in Japanese) are fed the same diet as our Kobe steers --- beer, grain, and massages!

Sleeping Tamworth Pigs1174 katseluaIt's been very damp, so we brought some of the Tamworth pigs into the stable. We cleaned them off first --- look how they shine. And they don't foul in the stable, just in a corner of the stable yard. This is all one litter: they're brothers and sisters. Born in April 2005, about six months ago. Isn't it great how they sleep in a big gaggle?
