Brief History

The Oxford Sandy and Black has existed for 200-300 years, particularly around Oxfordshire, though it's exact origin is not known. The breed was almost lost altogether in the 1940s when boar licensing dropped to only one or two a year. The decline continued to the brink of extinction when in 1985 the current Breed Society was formed. In August 2003 the British Pig Association took over the registration of Oxford Sandy and Blacks, a move which should help to increase public interest in this most endearing British Pig.

Pigs For Sale

Oxford Sandy & Black Weaners

We are fortunate to have 3 lovely pedigree breeding pigs on site with a further 3 at another location all of which are from the areas top breeding stock. They are in our opinion of show quality and have been lovingly reared on from weaners to present date.

Recently having success with our first arrival of 9 little piglets all of which sold within days we are now preparing for the next little arrivals and orders are being taken.

Should you be considering keeping pigs for breeding or for fattening look no further, the breed is an excellent choice for beginners like us and they are great with children they are a very good natured pig. It is prolific, hardy and a good forager. A medium to large lop eared pig, with a background colour of light sandy to rust, adorned with random black blotches (not spots). It is sometimes referred to as the 'Plum Pudding' Pig.

We have several options available from pedigree breeding stock to non pedigree meat stock and would be happy to advise on any aspect.

Pork For Sale

The difference Rare breed free-range pork is quite different to the mass produced itensively farmed pork you can buy in the supermarkets.

Our pigs are kept outdoors where they are allowed to grow at a natural pace, maturing much more slowly than intensively farmed pigs, (whose movement is restricted and whose diet is enhanced with growth promoters). This results in pork which has a greater depth of flavour, which is succulent, tender and juicy.
