Lisa Kennedy, farm assistant, from Middlewich in Cheshire, 'I was always interested in animals and farms from being small, and began showing pigs for people more than 10 years ago. I bought some of my own Tamworths for my 30th birthday in 2007, and keep them on a friend's property. Tamworths are renowned for being the big characters of the pig world and I felt a personal affinity with the breed. They are very quick-witted and very good at escaping - remember the Tamworth Two? You have to keep a very close eye on them, because once one goes, they all go. .The Great Yorkshire Show, one of Britain's biggest agricultural shows, is famous for its competitive displays of livestock.
