Title: Boar stud wanted
Post by: Amysidwells on August 09, 2012, 10:48:31 pm

Looking for a boar stud for our GOSxpietrain. Preferably a welsh, GOS or pietrain boar. Doesn't need to be pedigree will consider other breeds and crosses too. Struggling to find one at present. located in staffordshire.

Just a note to say bear in mind if you put the boar in now or over the next month you'll be farrowing in December/Xmas, having had litters the last 3 Boxing days this year the boar is staying away from my girls until late September ;)  as i would like a Christmas off from piggy midwife duties.

Don't want the boar for at least another month yet :-) thought best start looking and it's not turning out to be easy.
