Title: Iron Age Weaners
Post by: NortheriIslesPigs on August 26, 2016, 01:55:37 pm
We have a number of Iron Age Weaners for sale.

They are about 10 weeks old, and will be tagged and wormed before they leave.  They've been free range and free to roam around, and come from good breeding stock.

We are looking for £50 per weaner, and would be able to advise on transporting them to Aberdeen from Shetland.

Please PM for more information.

Why tag? They are under a year old and can move on a temporary paint mark. The buyer would put their own tag in when they go to slaughter.

Yes I know.

Up until two weeks ago we didn't intend to sell these weaners, we normally grow them on (hence the tag as its a lot easier to tag them when they are small rather than tag them when they are hitting 60+ kg), but due to a change in circumstances we are now faced with having to sell them.

Ah I read your post as you would tag them!

Not to worry, just hoping to find them a good home.
