Got a birth-notified GOS gilt, 8 months old, good conformation, correct number of teats, well set up on her pasterns. I won't register her as she has too many spots on her skin that don't translate into spots on the hair, so considered a breed fault. I thought it worth seeing if anyone on here would be interested in her for non-pedigree breeding as she has the most docile temperament of any gilt we've ever bred, and that's saying something. It seems a pity for her to end up in the freezer. If anyone would like her as an in-pig gilt I could put her to our unrelated boar in a couple of months' time.

Hi Marches Farmer - I may be interested. Where in Herefordshire are you - trying to ascertain how close to me you are (I am just outside Abergavenny)?
I have CPH and pigs now but may be in the market for a good natured gilt to breed from (for onward meat production so doesn't need to be pedigree standard).
How much are you looking for if in pig in a couple of months?
Any pics?
Thanks
Martha

I have a photo but am finding it very difficult to upload them since the TAS site has been refurbished (don't know why). If you PM me your e:mail address I can send it that way. She'll be £125 in-pig.

Think I have just PM-d you - let me know if not as iPad playing all sorts of tricks on me at the moment! Also where in Herefordshire are you?
