Title: AI OSB
Post by: NicAlford1234 on August 04, 2012, 09:15:15 pm

I know this was covered a couple of years ago, but I was wondering whether Deerpark or any other places are now selling OSB semen.
How much does it usually cost? I have a boar at home, but I'm considering keeping a piglet or two to rear, and then breed with my boar.

Thanks,
 :pig:

Well on the Oxford Sandy and Black Society website and the BPA site it says that Deerpark have now got an OSB boar, but the Deerpark website doesn't mention anything. I guess the best thing would be to call.

According to the latest copy of the OSB club newsletter - haven't checked myself but it's sounding promising  :thumbsup:

The cost of AI is £20 + £8 P&P

I called  number of weeks back and they confirmed the same.

The Deerpark website is way out of date. Robert Overend told me the whole thing was being overhauled, but it's likely to take time.

 :wave: Always best to give Deerpark a call - they are so helpful - we had to cancel AI for one of our GOS this week we emailed Robert and Nigel and they cancelled the delivery straight away no problem. We always have loads of questions and they are always happy to to help. Just ask them what breed semen they have in stock. Will  be interested in the OSB semen as we have 2 gilts here in France. By the way they have a super delivery service to France they now use TNT and can arrive the next day.  Look forward to seeing their new website.
