Title: Looking for Kunekune sow or gilt ready for breeding - Scotland
Post by: HappyHippy on August 16, 2012, 05:39:38 pm

Hiya folks  :wave:

I've been contacted by someone looking for a lady-friend for an 18 month old Kunekune boar.
Does anyone in Scotland have any girls (oref. registered) they'd consider parting with ? He's located in Fife, so the closer the better  :thumbsup:
Please drop a note here or pm me for the contact details.
Thanks  :-*

hi Karen i am assuming they are wanting it for free     there may be kunnies at lanark at the rare breed sale    not that they make a lot of money  going by previous sales :farmer:

You know what they say when you assume something  ;) It makes an ass of u and me  :D

He's prepared to pay for the pig, just in case anyone thought otherwise  :innocent:

I didn''t read anything in this post about wanting a pig for free. 

I have girls for sale but too far from Scaotland sorry.

Karen - I've got two gilts of 9 months old but they're out of a Tamworth sow by a Kune boar.  Could be delivered to you easily enough.

Thanks Jane, suspect he's looking for pure Kunekune, but I'll mention it to him and let you know  :thumbsup:

How did the cross turn out by the way ? Are they just like smaller hairier Tamworths ? Would love to see photo's  ;)

Hi Karen
There's a man up here who's breeding Kunes, I think they're registered! Would you like his number??

Hiya Lee  :wave:
If he happens to have any older girls he'd sell then yes please  :thumbsup: He's not looking for piglets or anything under 9 or 10 months though cos of the age/size of the boar.
Thanks, Karen x

I am PM-ing you 3 numbers of people breeding KKs in the Scottish Borders - it will be about a 1.5-2.0hr drive to any of them.
