It isn’t the first time that we are offered a free pig. Keeping a pig is becoming more commonplace for backyarders and they often see them as a pet. That’s OK until the pig needs to go due to old age or the owners having to move house. What to do with the pet pig? This is where our reputation is spreading around that we are grateful recipients of redundant people’s redundant pigs. OK, we do take them on sometimes, but you can only keep so many pigs! And let’s face it; an old pig is tough meat. So when another offer came up to take on an old pet pig I said, ‘that’s enough now, no more tough porkers, I’m sick of tough meat.’ But on the other hand if an offer of a young porker came up for grabs, I might just consider it.
