Part of a litter of Middle White piglets which had been born at the farm on 1 March 2019. The working farm at the park is one of the largest rare breed centres in Europe. All animals at Home Farm are native to the UK and most are classed as Rare Breeds by the Rare Breed Survival Trust. The farm thus helps to ensure the continuation of some of the oldest breeds of farm animals.
