Title: Landrace
Post by: powispigs on February 05, 2011, 05:11:57 pm

Hi all, my son has decided to enter into the world of pigs but doesn't want lops - which is typical as that is what we breed!  Does anyone know of anyone in Shropshire/West Midlands area that breed Landrace that we could buy a weaner from? Thank you  :wave:

Hi
There were only 20 registered keepers of pedigree British Landrace pigs on the 2010 BPA Breed survey.
You could try the following for some pointers
BPA breed rep  Julian Newth 07791270859 (Somerset)
Stephen Hull 01480891949
You could also do a search on the BPA website under pedigree pigs.
Wish you luck in your search.
HTH
