Title: Looking for micro pigs
Post by: Hilarysmum on August 01, 2009, 08:35:32 am

Does anyone in France have any micro pigs like Smiffies for sale?  Or know of any breeders?  The OH of a friend is keen to buy her two as a surprise.  Would much prefer to buy from France to avoid the importing costs.

Have you searched through Germany as I thought they originated from there, and as you all know Barry is going to Austria very very soon so maybe he could bring them back for the jammy person............ please tell, no secrets on this forum !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well I have a possible breeder on German/Austrian border.  lord you should see the prices they are asking.  You could get an awful lot of quality free range pork for the same price as one tichie micro pig.  Cant tell you who am sworn to secrecy, however as the lucky person is a member of TAS no doubt we will hear more about this at a later date.  If anyone knows of any one nearer than Austria /Germany would be very grateful.
