Rare Breeds in National Newspaper
It was a very hot day on the 26th July and it wasn't only the humans who needed sun hats. The piglet got to wear one too!

Hoof and Trotter Races at Rare Breeds Centre

Everyday this summer we are making piggy racing even more fun, by racing our sheep, we have 2 highly trained Southdown Sheep and 2 Lincoln Longwool Lambs, If you visited us in Febuary you may have seen the Southdown Lambs being born, Easter time the Lincolns Longwools were born.

We will race both Pigs and Sheep everyday (weather permitting- if too hot we will not race the sheep as they are too wooley and they are to young to shear) (I wouldn't wear a jumper and run around in this heat)
