Welcome to all who adore ginger pigs!

The Tamworth is the most attractive and charismatic of all breeds. Nothing looks better against a backdrop of lush, green grass - or soft white snow, for that matter - than these rich red or sandy-coloured pigs.
One of the native breeds of the UK, the Tamworth is a hardy creature which does well in all climates and which has grown in popularity in countries across the world.
