Sows for sale
« on: September 27, 2010, 03:27:01 pm »
We have a 2 year old large black sow and an 18 month old British lop sow we need to get rid of. We are moving to an organic farm in the new year and both these girls are not registered, so we can't take them onto the new holding. We bought them as weaners and ended up keeping them as we liked them and not being registered wasn't an issue as we have been crossing them with our Berkshire boar, they have produced good sized litters of piglets. We can put them in pig with the boar if anyone is interested in that. The fact they are unregistered is reflected in the price We'd like to get £100 each for them. If they are not sold before end of Nov we'll have to make the into sausages unfortunately.

Please let me know if anyone has any questions. We are based in Bedfordshire near A1.
