No swine need apply: Hairy hog on hunt for love

She’s a bit of a pig and her place is a sty — but she’s a one-in-a-million with hair to die for and she’s looking for love.

The man who adopted a rare woolly pig found wandering on a mountain in Carlow says he wants to find her a mate in the hope of breeding little woolly piglets.

“We have tried to find her owner but nobody has come forward,” said Ivan Rumley, who runs Rumley’s Open Farm on the outskirts of Cork City.
