Will have three available at the end of July.  Birth notified Princess Freda/Sambo.  Growing away very well and both parents very docile and well handled.

Their sire is an Onnyview Sambo and their dam a Hareley Princess Freda.  Her dam was Liz Hurley's Southland Princess Freda 3.  I've looked back through all the paperwork I have (although not the complete bloodline histories which can be seen on the BPA website) and most of the sires on both sides have been Sambos, with an occasional Gerald or Rufus. No Patricks mentioned.

OK, thanks for your time.  Will talk to hubby as we are looking for a suitable GOS weaner (boar) to bring on and use to service our girl.  She has Patrick in her lines but will need to check her dam lines as well.

Hi MF - we are just waiting for the registration papers to come through from Cotswold Farm Park on ours and then I will know exactly what our lines are.

Piglets will be weaned 4th August.  Another litter due next week from a gilt that's the half-sister of the one with the litter (will be weaned at 8 weeks).

colliewobbles: If you know the full pedigree names, you will be able to look up the lineage on the BPA website. If you need any help, just shout.
