Hi, loved our first 4 saddlebacks (although wouldnt touch a co-operative animal venture again!) and it helped us decide the way forward (we had thought about breeding, but have now decided to leave that to experts and support local breeders, just getting a couple of weaners each year).
So.... Who is near us ( I dont have my transport ticket so need (and want to) to stick within 40 miles) that might have some weaners around Late Aug/early Sept? I'd love to try large black, but wouldnt mind any of the traditional breeds that will do well outdoors free ranging (ish).
Thought Id ask here first, save me trawling individually through all the breed sites for nearby breeders. Eeek cant wait for piggy batch No.2. I have really missed having them around (although we are in raptures about eating the pork and bacon.)
