Title: CPH number arrived all ready for pigs!
Post by: craiglockwood on January 14, 2011, 02:49:54 pm

but....   I can't find any locally.  Last month they were being advertised everywhere but now I am ready i can't find a single snout.

Anybody know of any 12 week old G.O.S, saddlebacks or Oxford Sandy & Blacks in the South Wales area (preferably able to deliver)?

 :wave:
I'm certain there are a handul of people on here that are in your area. I know Blinkers from Glyn Elwyn has GOS, if you google Glyn Elwyn she'll come up and she's in Pembrokshire. I might have a spare 1 or 2 but I'm in South Shropshire with no hope of delivery!

Many pig breeders don't have to many litters this time of year as the weaners can prove difficult to move on. In a month or two they'll be lots I am sure. Have you had a look on the breed websites? They have registered stock for sale on there too.

Rambling...sorry. ::)
