hi there, new to the forum, am after some gilt weaners in lincolnshire to buy, any breed or crosses, say 6 or 10 or so.
with view to keeping for breeding or fattening.

any advice greatly received as quite new to pigs on farm(worked with them commercially in the past)

Try all the breed society websites as they usually have a list of breeders and often also list what that breeder has to sell.

Good luck
