Title: Have the go ahead!!!
Post by: JackCobtree on January 24, 2012, 09:28:50 pm

Hi

I now have the go ahead to buy 4 or 5 weaners this year for myself and raise them.
Would anyone be selling weaners from early May to late June this year in the South East?
Ideally they would be pure bred, as they will be shown, I'd like to buy at leat two gilts preferably and pedigree weaners, even if only one gilt out of the 4/5 is registered that would be superb!

Many thanks

Jack

how exciting for you. try and get at least birth notified pigs, if not registered. it widens your market alot and increases the price you can charge. without papers its just a pig but the same amount of work. good luck!
