Hi all

Looking to get 2 weaners
Tamworth x
12 weeks old
2 females to fatten for family/friends freezers


What vaccines/meds etc do they need between now and going to slaughter?
Bred and born outdoor and will be kept outdoor in half acre of rough grass.

Have they had any before you get them?

At four weeks old we give our piglets Porcilis PCV M Hyo before they move off site.
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies. This is me!

Talk to the breeder about what vaccine plan they have. You will find many small breeders don't do any vaccinations and many people buy weaners that never get vaccines either. Check they have been wormed and what with.
