Oaklands Pigs was presented with a “Pigs in Mud” cake made by Sue Jensen for Easter. This was very soon consumed !

Snow has reached the South East again. Good job the pigs enjoy playing in the snow. We make sure that they have a nice warm ark to get into, with plenty of straw. Although keeping dozens of water troughs defrosted is an all day job. Hopefully the sunshine will be out soon.

A new trio of Oxford Sandy and Blacks have just arrived from Cornwall. The girls Martha and Mavis are sisters from the Mary Bloodline and the boar Henri is from the Clarence bloodline. They will join the other 4 Oxford Sandy’s already at Oaklands Pigs

The Rare Breed Show at the Open Air Museum at Singleton was bathed in glorious sunshine this year, a contrast to the very wet previous year. Hazel our July Gilt won her class and went on to become reserve traditional breed champion. Our September and January Gilts also did well, both coming 2nd in their respective classes. The win was just to much for Hazel who had to have a lie down – in the show ring.

We took five pigs to the Singleton Show including three saddlebacks, an Oxford Sandy & Black and Tabitha our popular Tamworth, who spent much of the day enjoying being stoked by the public.
