About our farm animal garden ornaments
This collection covers 15 farmyard pieces across four animal types: pigs, horses, sheep, and foxes. Materials include hand-cast reconstituted stone, hand-finished metal, and solid bronze. Stone pieces start at £45 for a pig ornament. Metal and bronze figures range from £85 for a fretwork horse head to £1,020 for a life-sized sitting pig. For more animal figures, browse our animal garden ornaments collection or our stone animal ornaments range.
Farm animal ornaments work well in cottage gardens, rural properties, and smallholdings. They add character to vegetable patches, garden gates, and patios. Stone pieces weather naturally and develop moss over time. Metal pieces develop a patina that deepens with age. Our guide to ageing garden statues explains how to speed up weathering for an established look from day one.
Why we chose this range
"Pig ornaments outsell every other farm animal by a wide margin. People love them because they have personality. A stone pig sitting by your front door or a bronze piglet next to a flower bed makes visitors smile. I picked these particular pieces because they look like real animals, not cartoon characters. The metalwork pigs are welded by hand and no two are identical. The stone pigs are cast from moulds taken from hand-carved originals."

Stone is the lowest maintenance option and develops a natural patina over time. Metal pieces develop a rust patina which many people prefer. Bronze weathers to a green verdigris finish. All three materials handle UK frost and rain without damage. For a full material breakdown, see our stone vs resin comparison guide.
Quick guide: choosing the right farm animal
For a cottage garden, choose stone pigs or foxes. For a modern garden, choose metal horse heads or the fretwork style. For a rural property or large garden, the life-sized metal pig or sheep makes a strong centre piece. For a gift, the bronze piglets at £379, £479 are popular. For a budget-friendly addition, the Pig with Apples at £45 is our entry point.
Matt's installation tip
Place pig ornaments at ground level, not on plinths. A pig sitting on a pedestal looks wrong. Tuck them beside a planter, next to a doorstep, or half-hidden in a border. Horse heads look best mounted on a wall or gate post, or standing on a flat surface at eye height. The life-sized metal pieces (pig, sheep) weigh 30kg+. Set them on a paving slab so they do not sink into soft ground over winter.

Hand-cast reconstituted stone with a natural weathered finish. Good size without being too large. Frost-proof, UV-stable, and it looks better every year as moss settles into the detail. A proper garden piece, not a novelty. Price: £179 |

Matt's note, June 2026
The Seated Piglet was the farm range's seller in the year to June 2026, with two gone. Fourteen pieces are in stock, £45 to £1,020, most around £189. Farm animals carry a different mood from classical pieces. They are jokes you live with, and the best spot plays along: a pig by the compost bin, hens by the back door. Resist lining them up on the patio like a display shelf. Scatter them where someone finds them mid-job, watering or weeding.
Frequently asked questions
Sizes range from 250mm (piglet) to 940mm (life-sized sheep). The stone pig ornaments are typically 250mm to 450mm tall. Horse head pieces are 300mm to 500mm. The life-sized metal pig and sheep stand 700mm to 940mm. Check individual product pages for exact dimensions and weight.
Yes, all three materials handle UK frost without damage. Reconstituted stone is frost-proof and UV-stable. Metal develops a protective rust patina. Bronze weathers to a green verdigris. None of these materials crack, fade, or deteriorate in rain, snow, or sub-zero temperatures. Leave them outside year-round.
Metal pieces are hand-welded steel. Bronze pieces are solid cast bronze. Metal ornaments have visible weld lines and a textured, rustic finish. They develop an orange-brown rust patina over time. Bronze is denser, smoother, and develops a green verdigris patina. Bronze lasts longer (100+ years vs 20-30 for metal) and costs more.
Place pigs at ground level beside borders, doorsteps, or planters. Pigs look natural at floor height, not raised on plinths. Tuck a small stone pig beside a flower bed or next to your front door. Larger metal pigs work as centre pieces at the end of a garden path or beside a garden gate. Group two piglets together for a farmyard scene.
Yes, and most people want them to. The hand-welded metal pieces develop a natural rust patina within weeks of being placed outdoors. This is intentional and protective. The rust layer stops deeper corrosion. If you prefer the original dark metal finish, apply a clear outdoor lacquer or wax coating once a year.
The life-sized metal pieces are popular with commercial buyers. The Standing Pig at £940 and Sheep at £940 are both 700mm+ tall. They work as entrance features, photo spots, and conversation starters. Commercial buyers often order pairs. Contact us for trade pricing on multiple items.
Farm animals pair well with stone planters, bird baths, and other animal figures. A pig beside a stone planter of herbs looks natural. A horse head near a garden gate adds character. Mix materials freely. Stone, metal, and bronze work together if you keep a consistent garden style. Our choosing guide covers how to build a coordinated garden scheme.
