Title: Wanted - weaners. Can you help?
Post by: karthomp on March 27, 2013, 12:40:52 pm

On the hunt as our our breeder has retired :(
 
Preferably OSB as thats what we've raised before but would consider other breeds. :pig:
We're after 3 gilts ideally ready now - end of April time.
We're in lincoln but am prepared to travel.  Does anyone have anything or know of any breeders that might have stock for sale?
 
Thanks
Karen

We've got some GOS x Middle White weaners ready now. They are dual purpose i.e. good for Pork or bacon. 
Don't know if we are too far away for you. We usually have some weaners or growers  available , we keep Middle Whites, GOS and Pietrains and do crosses as well.
 
We are near Pocklington in East Yorkshire around 10 miles east of York and around 10 miles from Murton Livestock Centre at York.

Hi Karen,

New on here, after weaners too. 

Is OSB Oxford Sandy and Black pigs?  If so, came across a site for Brogan's Farm, southwest of Lincoln that sells that particular breed.

Hope that helps  ;D

That looks interesting, and only a few miles away from me.  I think I may see if we could pop over and take a look at there set up.  Not quite got to having pigs yet, but I keep trying  ;)
