Title: New arrivals
Post by: NethertonSH on May 09, 2016, 07:51:24 am

We decided to go ahead and buy a couple of gilts. So yesterday we went and picked up our two pedigree Tamworth gilts from a very nice breeder. One is 5 months and the other 6 months, each from different bloodlines. We'll wait another 5 months before we hopefully take them back to him to be serviced for the first time. It's nice to have pigs back and especially nice that they're staying for good.
