Have a look on www.oldspots.org, the GOS breeders club.

There is a list of members on there.  It is worth contacting breeders near you, if they are like me I don't advertise my weaners, but usually have some available.

Good luck, and let us know when you get some.  It's worth the wait, they are fabulous.

Just out of interest, why don't you advertise? We also had the devil of a time finding some even though we went to the GOS site.

I have regular litters here and I can usually supply 2 or 3 weaners to anyone who is interested, and I keep a list of people who require weaners at a particular time of a year.

If I have any breeding stock for sale I put them on the GOS breeders club website.

Cheers, Julie.
I know you explain this on your website but when first timers are casting about trying to find good rearing pigs it's difficult. We certainly didn't have the understanding that some breeders have regular litters.
We left getting our pigs until we had almost everything in place the first time around when, with hindsight, we could have found a breeder and worked toward when weaners would come available.

It's certainly a huge learning curve when you first start Mo. 

If I can help with anything just let me know.

It's well worth it though, and a lot of the learning curve is so rewarding. We can't wait to do it all again.
