Title: WANTED: Weaners within easy reach of Aberdeen
Post by: NortheriIslesPigs on January 03, 2013, 02:58:22 pm

Hi folks,

If any of you know of any weaners (saddlebacks, tamworths, or crosses - preferably rare breeds) that are available now or that will be at the end of the month/early feb can you let me know? We're in Shetland so a day's drive from Aberdeen is doo-able and likewise we could go via Orkney and down via Scrabster as well.  We're looking for between 4 and 8 to add to our herd, and grow on while waiting with bated breath to see if any one of our four sows produce after April.

Thanks
J

We'll have some OSB x Kunekune ready at the end of February and some pure bred Kunekunes which will be ready at the end of January.
We're about 2.5 hours south of Aberdeen, if that's of any help just drop me a message.
Thanks, Karen  :wave:

You can rest them at mine if you want - we're about an hour from Aberdeen and an hour and a half from Karen's.
