Title: Weaners wanted Herefordshire area
Post by: djahouli on May 23, 2013, 02:26:01 pm

Hi,

We're looking for 5 weaners to take to bacon size,  - Tamworths, OSBs, GOS or large whites.  Herefordshire area, or surrounding counties.

Any out there?

Toni

We bought our berkshire weaners from Emmas pigs in Bycross and they are very happy and healthy chaps.  Emmas Pigs have quite a few different rare breeds.  Best to phone them, email can be a bit slow.

Thanks everyone.

Tried Emmas pigs.  She doesn't have any.  Working our way through the local breeders but we seem to be 'out of season' or something.  They've all just gone....So far

Looking up Marches Farmer next.
