'We have never had pigs before so I have a lot to learn but local people have been wonderful, donating feed to us and giving advice.'
Michelle Williams and her four year-old-son Masimba with the pigs 'Lost and Found'.
At first it was thought they may have escaped from their home, but after fruitless appeals on social media and calls to the RSPCA and police, dairy farmers Michelle and Thomas Williams took a trailer out to the lane to rescue the animals. "We took some food with us and they followed us into the trailer for the food - they were very hungry. Once back at the farm having had plenty of water and some food they perked up enormously."After initial thoughts that they may have escaped Michelle now thinks they had been dumped on the side of the lane.
"It may be that they were backyard animals and the person who bought them had no idea just how big they would grow or how much they would eat and couldn't afford to feed them.""We have never had pigs before so I have a lot to learn but local people have been wonderful, donating feed to us and giving advice."
