Title: Fodder beet wanted !
Post by: Pigglewiggle on November 13, 2009, 02:12:44 pm

 Hello,

 We live in North Yorkshire and are looking for some fodder or sugar beet to feed to our pigs as a supplement to their normal food. We are spending too much on pig food and need to fill out their diet, does anyone know of any friendly farmers in this area, who would be willing to sell smaller loads. As we don't really have the storage space for tons.

 Thanks

 Debbie
