GSA Update

Genetic Spread Allowance

£3,325 and counting

As of 2 September 2022, the charity has supported the move of 34 pigs all across the UK, adding key bloodlines to regions without or with low levels. Our supporters have clocked up a whopping 11,102 miles, this is the same distance as flying from Cardiff to Auckland in New zealand. This is epic when you think about it.

The pigs themselves have travelled 5,551 miles, the same as flying from Cardiff to Kandy in Sri Lanka. Since the last update we have seen an Elsie gilt move from Oxfordshire to Lincolnshire. A Sybil with piglets move from Caernarfon to Lincolnshire. Finally the first Lady line to the east side of the UK, moving from Colwyn Bay to Lincolnshire.

Our program has donated £3,325 to our members, supporting them with these key moves to diversify and conserve our dynamic Oxford Sandy and Black.
