Title: Breeders in South West Wales?
Post by: welshlass181 on August 25, 2011, 02:00:55 pm

Does anybody know of any breeders (bigger breeds than KK's) that are based in Carmarthenshire and/or the surrounding area?  Looking into getting 2 or possibly 3 larger gilts to add to our herd  :pig: 2 for the freezer and 1 for keeping  :farmer:

Hi Welshlass

As you know we got 4 lovely gos boys on Saturday from a lady in Llandovery, we only took 4 and I think that left her with 3 or 4, she may still have some left. Would you like her details?

Regards

Hiya,   We breed Berkshire, Gloucester Old Spot and Middle Whites......and we're in Carmarthenshire  ;D      No weaners available at the moment, but if you'd like to come and see our herd, you'd be very welcome.   I keep a list of customers who ask me to let them know when the next weaners are available.
