Try Nikki Robson at Westlands Farm, they used to have some, they are near Horley in Surrey, or you could send a message to her via Facebook, hope this helps

I think Nikki has Linda's ones  ;)
You could also try Wendy Scudamore at Barton Hill in Herefordshire, she has some too but that might be about it for your choice in the UK at the moment.

Hi, yes contact Nikki. I was the first one to bring the Meishans back into the UK about two years ago. Nikki has taken over from me and has the original parents plus others. The boar was from Germany to prevent in breeding as this is a problem with Meishans in Europe.
