Title: Free to Good Homes
Post by: Nigelbcp on May 17, 2011, 11:19:54 am: Due to our planned relocation abroad we are breaking up our smallholding and are offering our livestock free to good homes. We have two Saddleback sows one of which is registered and from Keythorpe Dictator / Ducksdyke Silver Wings lines, we also have her 'sister' from the same litter, she is not registered. Both have been excellent mothers producing litters of 12 and 11 respectively. They are just over three years old. Also available are two GOS gilts who are two years old. they all live happily together, if all four could go to the same home that would be great or alternatively split the Saddlebacks and GOS.

We also have some 30+ laying birds of varying breeds, hybrid warrens, marans etc

We are situated midway between Newark and Lincoln on the Nottinghamshire / Lincolnshire Borders.

Well get on with it then! ;) ;D (just been to look and you haven't posted them yet. I'll only be able to bid for stuff you can transport up here though - so may still be 0 items!)

Very interested in what you have there.

Any chance of itemising it for this forum?
