New Piglets...


In the rush before Christmas we had another sow give birth to a litter of five piglets. Again, there was the obligatory gold and white piglet (as with the last litter).

Our piglets and Boer kids have been a huge success. We quickly sold out of all the piglets and kids from 2011, and have pre-sold sold several piglets and kids for this coming year. If anyone else is interested please contact us directly at farm@willowbrookpark.co.nz

It is always nice when people who have bought our animals stay in touch. One such person is Jacqui, who bought a piglet from our last litter and has named it 'Lady Marmite'.
You can follow 'Farmer Jax' at her blog: Little Acres Cottage

I do need to give a hugh thank you to Peter, for his amazing dedication to the 'pig run' every day (he drives across town and back to two grocers to pick up fruit and vegetables for the pigs - every day after he has finished work). Thank you for so willingly sticking to the mission. The piglets are a tribute to your hard work.

  1. Can I say they are cute? As they surely are! I can't even begin to imagine what it must take to look after piglets. My hat goes off to Peter!

    Best wishes for a Happy New Year at Willowbrook Park!

  2. MOTH came home the other day raving about a trailer load of Boer goats & their kids he pulled up behind at the Servo. He spent nearly an hour chatting to the Farmer about them & is besotted! Is convinced we need a couple to keep the grass down on our tennis court, I'm yet to be convinced. Peter is a star, those piggies are lucky to have him!
