Title: Tamworth Boars
Post by: Tamworthpigsuk on May 05, 2009, 03:49:01 pm

Hi all,

Our Tamworth pigs have recently given birth to some beautiful little piglets, 7 gilts and 5 boars.
We are looking to swap one of our 5 week old boars for another Tamworth boar to carry on the breeding process when the time is right. (We are based in Warwickshire).
If anyone can help us with this please get in touch as we are relatively new to pig farming and any advice would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks in advance
Steve

Hi,

Is your Tamworths pedigree'd? What are their lines?

Try the Tamworth Association - either google or look on BPA website.  Caroline who runs it is very helpful.
