Piglets by Christmas - we hope...
Launceston Farm would like to extend the warmest of welcomes to our gorgeous, new addition - a Middle White boar named Magnum who is on temporary loan from a local farm.
The girls are generally looking a bit miffed at the moment but we are optimistic our young stud will do his best to make sure our seemingly unwilling ladies are ready to sow down by Christmas.
Middle whites are a rare breed of pig from Yorkshire. They are relatively small and have a distinctive short snout which means they are less inclined to root. According to the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, the Middle White's succulent, sweet-tasting pork has been recognised worldwide. In Japan, the Emperor is said to eat no other type of pork.
We were interested in breeding Middle Whites to help preserve this treasured breed.
