Lovely custodians

 Lots of people love pigs and want to keep them.Sometimes though it can be difficult to find the right sort of pigs at the appropriate age. And then what happens to them when they're grown up and 'ready to go'? So we have just the scheme for these people. The Curly Coat Custodians take a minimum of two pigs from us when they are just weaners.No cost apart from admin and delivery if over a certain distance. Then they treat them as their own pigs.For months and months and months - as many as they like - within reason. At the end we go fetch them.
These two are Mave & Babe
They were a surprise "Wedding Gift" to Rach and her husband. A lovely idea. Rach was over the moon when the 'gift' scroll was read out at the Reception. And Mave & Babe have been looked after like little treasures ever since and grown into beautiful woolly coated gilts. Clearly they've enjoyed their home and kept it spick and span. They weren't much interested in leaving either. Mave made it quite clear that she was not going anywhere without a good wallow. And then she and Babe turned their backs on us and walked to the furthest end of their home ....  Just telling us exactly what they thought - they'd rather be there than leave. Which is nice and shows they've had a good home... And that's the most important thing to a pig..... and to us...
