Pigs are best. They'll remove *ALL* vegetable matter, including roots,
and they will till the ground and fertilise it.

If the foxes and badgers aren't careful, they'll have them too.

Any kind of pig? I rather like the idea of pigs more than goats. Any
groups/lists devoted to pigs?

People keep Vietnamese pot-bellied pigs as pets, but otherwise, yes, any
pig will do.

Remember though, that an engaging piglet will grow to an engaging
porker, and an engaging lumbering baconer and require the Maginot Line
to contain it.

You could ask about small varieties in uk.business.agriculture

Pigs are great for digging up land - what will the OP do with the pig once
the land has been dug over........?

That's where the "self sufficiency" bit comes in....grow yer own bacon!
