Springtime in the South East


 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

New Trio of Oxford Sandy’s arrive from Cornwall

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

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.

Best in Show at Surrey County

Oaklands Pigs were in great form at the Surrey County show on the May Bank Holiday Monday, with our saddleback sow Hilda winning Best in Show. We also scooped 1st and 2nd in the July gilt class, with Hazel a saddleback gilt taking 1st and competing alongside Hilda for Best in Show. Then Chestnut an Oxford Sandy Gilt taking the 2nd spot making her the best Oxford at the show. Not to be out done by her mother, Hilda’s daughter Hyacinth born in January this year came 2nd in her class. And the whole day was rounded off by Amy, our 5 year old saddleback sow winning the Veteran class.
