Title: Anyone Got a New Litter (Welsh Marches)?
Post by: Marches Farmer on October 21, 2016, 08:21:36 am

Bought a young boar that turned out to be a bit of a dud - very small litters.  Last of the gilts that went to him has just farrowed - one piglet!  Makes sense to adopt on the piglet and put the sow back to our new boar, rather than spend two months raising just one piglet.  Anyone out there got a new litter and want a GOS?

Just spotted that the piglet is a boar.  He's a very good shape and will be registerable if anyone wants a working GOS boar for the future.
