Title: GOS sows for sale
Post by: Gillybean on June 19, 2011, 05:36:21 pm
I have 2 GOS sows for sale, both aged 18mths and both from the same litter. I am having to sell them due to ill health. They have never been put in pig because of accomodation problems but that was the intention when we bought them. They are unregistered but come from a good local breeder. They are both friendly though one is quieter than the other but both come to the bucket.  I would like £100 each. Can deliver but would need to charge for fuel. I am in Pocklington, East Yorks.

Gill, very sorry to hear that you are not well and are having to give up your pigs.

More experienced people than me will be able to comment on how likely it is that the girls may still be able to breed. 

Are you wanting a forever home for them, whether or not they can still breed?

If the breeder had intended them to be bred from they would have registered them. 

Please don't breed from unregistered stock.  Let's keep the rare breeds going by only breeding from Registered stock.  The only way to tell you have the real thing.
