HartleyHare Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Am considering keeping a couple of pigs (rare breed). We have a largeish plot in Nether Edge, would be great to hear from anyone who has experience. Am aware of the DEFRA rules and regs, just wondered if Sheffield has any urban pig keepers?

Obelix Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Any restrictive covenants on your house..? Mine says I'm only allowed 20 chickens and no more than three swine for example although where I'd actually put three pigs I have no idea, the garden is small...

GrannyGranny Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Depends how big is big (your garden). How close are the neighbours? Will they mind having pigs next door? Noise and smell would be my 2 big concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your ok if it's only three little pigs, but watch out for the big bad wolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truman Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Depends how big is big. How close are the neighbours? Noise and smell would be my 2 big concerns. You'd expect the pigs to be able to put up with it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
