Registered Oxford Sandy & Black sow for sale - Lanark

Hiya folks,

Just on the off chance that anyone is looking for a sow I thought I'd list her here  :)
She's had 2 litters (we'll be weaning the second litter on Sunday) and is a great mum  :thumbsup:
First litter was 10, second litter 7 - I can only assume the lower number came from her being moved back home 4 weeks post service as her condition is/was tip top.

She's a well handled, chatty sow - lovely natured pig and super-protective and attentive mum  ;) Though I doubt she'd take many rosettes in the show ring as her underline is a bit uneven. Doesn't affect her raising piglets in the slightest, but I thought it best to mention from a showing point of view  :)

Unfortunately she doesn't mix with the Large Blacks (though she did mix well with our Tamworths and Berkshires -  ??? can't figure out the problem with the LB's but she's just never liked them) As we're going to be concentrating on the LB's and getting our own boar, sadly Poppy has to go  :-\

Slaughter date is booked, so if anyone does want her let me know before 30th August - £250 o.v.n.o. (always open to bartering too)
Thanks,
Karen  :wave:
