Pig and Poultry Fair 2014
« on: April 11, 2014, 07:33 »
This event happens every two years and whilst it's not aimed at the backyard keepers it is a good source of information (and freebies  :lol:). It is a chance to find out how the big boys do it and also I feel that if enough small scale keepers talk to the exhibitors they may see the potential of producing their items in smaller quantities.
This years event is on Tuesday (9am to 5pm) and Wednesday (9am - 4pm) 13th and 14th May and has free entry and parking. Stoneleigh Park, Warwichshire, CV8 2LG.
You can get a fast track entry by registering on www.pigandpoultry.org.uk

I will be going but as yet not sure what day, anybody else fancy going?
Staffies are softer than you think.

please note that you will not see birds and pigs there - this is just full of suppliers  :)
I am going so that I can find out what products we as backyard keepers can use that are DEFRA approved, things like coccidiosis treatment, red mite treatments etc.
I cant see DEFRA on the list of exhibitors but hopefully they should be there.

Thanks for letting us know!
I'll be eager to know of any useful finds - but a long way to drive not to see any chickens - love pigs too.
One grandma and 4 baby Pekins.

Me and my wife were talking about going to this, we have chooks at the top of the garden but it's always good to find out new ideas and products.

Still dreaming of our own smallholding one day, and a few pigs and sheep are top of the list for that so I think we might well be making the effort to go.
