Don't worry, it's the way of this forum, to gently poke fun at typos. It's especially fun if it's someone who rarely make such mistakes

Hi Pookiecakes,
Too many animals really! Only really got into pigs this time last year (still a novice really) but just love them to bits. At the moment I have Kune kune, Middle White, Mangalitza's, British Lop & Gloucester Old spots. Sow's & boars in all the breeds. My brother has Saddle Backs & Large Blacks too.

I don't do things by half!!!!!!!!
I bought most of them as weaners so they all have grown up with me. I took some of them to shows at the back end of last year & got some really good placings with all the pigs I took (highest 1st - lowest 3rd).
The boars don't cause me any trouble but I have had to 'have words with them' in the past. It's knowing what to do & how to react if a situation does occur.
I also have plenty of 'pro pig people' who help me out if/when I need it.
I use to deal with nutty horses on a daily basis, so pigs don't worry me at all!
