Swiss Visit

We recently had a visit from lovely couple who were pig farming in Switzerland.

Anja & Fabio were farming on a small scale, but using commercial breeds because that is all that is available there, as all the old traditional Swiss breeds have died out. 

 So they were visiting England to learn about UK rare breeds, with a view to importing some to Switzerland. All the UK native breeds are hardly, and should thrive ion the Swiss environment.

We were able to show them 7 breeds, and discuss the differences between them, to help them make their choice.

Importing to Switzerland is not easy, but they will get help form the British Pig Association, who can put them in touch with the relevant experts.

We look forward to seeing what breeds they eventually choose, and finding out how they get on.
