    Cruckley Farm is down your way. It's a rare breed centre, working farm and open farm. They breed top-notch Berkshires, too.

    And Brompton Flock moved into Berkshire pigs three years ago (although they've been breeding sheep for many years). They're in North Yorks.

    You'll also find a list of Yorkshire-based Berkshire breeders on the Berkshire Breeders' Club website:

    I'm sure the other breed clubs will have a similar list.

    Sorry, just trying to help. The original post didn't say where you were or how close you were looking, so I thought I'd just post a couple of Yorkshire-based Berkshire breeders that sprang to mind given that I used to live at Skipton,

    I'm an Aussie and have lived in something like 40 places over the years. I'm a citizen of the world so everywhere and nowhere is home. I never get homesick.

    I did like Skipton a lot, but couldn't afford land there. The Other Half is a Scot and I have Scottish roots, which is why we gravitated northwards.

    I am slightly concerned that if I continue drifting northwards, having started in Australia, that I will eventually find myself on a small farm in the Faroes or Greenland or breeding pigs for Father Christmas at the North Pole...
