Welcome to pig keeping courses in The Lake District

pigs and piglets

Experienced pig keepers John Sutcliffe and Carole Barr have pooled their 35 years of pig keeping experience to offer comprehensive pig keeping courses. John is one of the country's leading Saddleback pig breeders who also currently runs a small herd of Hampshire pigs. Carole keeps British Lops, the rarest of traditional breed pigs, together with her Hampshire pigs. This is an ideal opportunity to learn from two pig keeping enthusiasts who have successfully bred pedigree pigs for the showfield and the butcher. The course will be very practical with the majority of time spent on the farm. Outdoor clothing is a must, wellington boots essential and overalls a strong suggestion. Please bring a change of clothing as you may not wish to travel home smelling like a pig!
