One-day Pig keeping for novices, beginners and enthusiasts (Gift vouchers available) This friendly, hands-on course is designed for people who are starting out with pigs, want some hands on experience of pigs, are considering keeping pigs or for the novice pig keeper. We will show you how to set up your facilities whether it is for a couple of fattening weaners or a full registered breeding herd. Only experiencing pigs close up can you decide if they are for you or not. To cover all the aspects below the course will be a mix of indoor discussion and outdoors practice. The course runs from 9.30am until 4.30 – 5pm and is restricted to a maximum of 8 people, so everyone gets hands on experience and there is lots of time for questions or to go over an area again if required. The cost of the novice course is £99 per person / £190 for two booking together and includes a comprehensive course manual for each delegate to take away, all refreshments (tea, coffee, juice, cake etc.), a light lunch and continuing support after you have decided to keep pigs – In fact all you need to bring is a coat and clean wellies. A £10 discount voucher will also be given to each delegate to attend the half-day handling course – valid until used. Half-day Pig Handling / Refresher workshops These half day workshops are designed to give people who wish to expand their piggy handling experience, have a practice at showing pigs, build confidence in handling pigs without having to cover the basics again or just want an afternoon in the company of pigs. There will be a bit of theory over coffee but mostly hands on practice with our trained and untrained pigs. This course runs from 1pm to 4.30pm and will be limited to 4 people. The cost of the handling workshop is £55 per person (£100 for two booking together) and includes a colour workshop manual, refreshments plus full continuing support should you need it.
