Title: GOS Weaners Wanted -
Post by: zackyb on March 14, 2014, 09:38:28 am
Hello

I would like to buy two GOS gilts please ideally Yorkshire area. To be reared for meat - they will be free range  outdoor so will have a great natural life. I keep pigs so have fields set up already.

I can pick up this weekend or next - have CPH etc.

Thanks in advance

We have two GOS boar or two gilt weaners available now and will have another two at the end of April.  The boars will get to slaughter weight around a fortnight earlier than gilts and you should have no problems with them fighting at that age, if they've been raised together.  We're in NE Herefordshire - a bit of a journey I know, but we had folks from Lincolnshire collect a couple of pigs earlier this month and they thought the journey worthwhile!   The ones available now will be £55 each.  They are well grown and were born to a young sow with plenty of milk.
