Who will win?

Amy Swinehouse is finding her form after a slow start.

Snopp Hog is consistent but often caught on the last leg.

Albert Einswine takes a tactical approcah.

Stephen Porking needs to improve his stamina.

Watch Pig Racing everyday at 12:30pm, you’ve never seen anything like it!

    Just stumbled on your website and I think your farm is a dream come true! I’d love to visit one day and maybe one day have some piggies of my very own! Thank you for putting a big smile on my face 😀

      Pig racing is definitely the highlight of the day!
      Every year we promote our smaller piglets to become our racing pigs for the season.
      We sell some of our pigs on as pets, Tommy Hillpigger actually got sold to a lovely family up in Yorkshire where he is living the best life!
