Title: Looking for GOS / OSB or Berkshire boar to hire in Suffolk
Post by: jimmy on May 21, 2014, 09:11:52 pm

Hi, subject says it all... Just wondering if there's any around.
I have 3 x 9 month old Sows, one of each pedigree.

Beki (Button End Beasts) has Rocky, an  OSB boar, in south cambs who she hires out - might be worth a PM?

Thanks, following up with them... I'd much rather get a boar in than do AI :/

Plumbpig.co.uk are OSB breeders just south of Bury St Edmunds, they have a boar worth asking them or if they know anyone else.
Not sure whereabouts in Suffolk you are.
