Title: British Lop Boar wanted !
Post by: Horse & Farm on February 19, 2012, 07:02:24 pm
Has anyone got a registered British Lop boar that is NOT Charles, Duke or Cornishman?

Prefer to buy, but would loan, lease or borrow !
Would be happy to have a registered young boar, over 5 months old.

Where are you based and how far are you prepared to travel? There's an excellent breeder - Rachel Nicholas, (Catrin Herd) - in Raglan, Monmouthshire. Has taken supreme at many shows. Depends how much you want a really good boar and how far you'll travel. Post some more info and I'll try and point you in the direction of someone suitable. But be wary about settling for the one closest to home. A boar is an investment. The right one can significantly improve your herd.
