Title: Wanted weaners Anglesey or North Wales.. Still looking!
Post by: Dave Taylor on April 28, 2016, 07:58:59 pm

Hi all,

We are not quite ready yet, so we are looking to test the water and see what weaners are available? We are looking to get 3 gilts in about 2-3weeks time.

We are looking for 8weeks and above, not too concerned about breed although we would prefer a traditional breed over commercial.

Like the idea of Berkshires, Saddlebacks, Tamworths etc but like I say we are not too concerned.

We have a huge pen waiting! It just needs its electric fencing put up, pig ark clearing and our CPH license :)

We are close to Holyhead on the isle of anglesey, however can travel onto mainland if need be.

Thanks a lot  :pig:
Dave

Thanks,

We are hoping to have got some by then, however if we are still looking nearer the time I will send you a message :)

Anyone else with any available in the next couple of weeks in North Wales?

Thanks
Dave
