Title: GOS registered gilts in pig wanted - south Bucks
Post by: sallyw on January 26, 2010, 07:35:41 pm

Hello,

Can anyone help. I am trying to purchase one or two gilts in pig and give breeding a try. We have had a few years of fattening weaners and have settled on GOS although i could be pursauded to have Oxford Sandy and blacks as i love those too!

I am in South Bucks and ready to get going. Any leads appreciated.
