Post by: kate7590 on January 27, 2016, 07:38:56 pm
Our first year trying piggies so looking for anyone relatively close that will have some weaners (looking for 2 this year just to try) around next mont- march maybe?

We're mid wales, powys.

Anyone? :)

We have a sow due to farrow end of April so weaners ready to go end of June.  Maybe a bit late for you but we are in Powys!

Hiya not sure if we are too far away but we have just had a litter of GOS piglets born - they will be ready to leave at the end of March - we are in North Shropshire.  :pig:

Whereabouts in Powys? I'm interested but Powys covers a huge area!

Indeed it does! - we are in the Beacons down near Brecon, but any way he has a dozen welsh both boars and gilts (purebreds) at just about 13 weeks old now. He's looking for £30 each ono so a good buy I think. They've been wormed. If you are interested I'll let you have his number.
