HELP!
« on: April 27, 2012, 10:06:46 am »
Hi all, it's that time of year again and I have been very busy/away/lazy/negligent! We are still enjoying the very, very best pork, ham and bacon ever from our four GOS boys killed last year. (This was our third "harvest"). I am looking for 4 more GOS boys.  We got our last ones from Oak House Farm in Sproughton, but sadly they are sold out until July.

Does anyone have or know of anyone within 50 miles of Bury St Edmunds that has weaners for sale?

Look forward to your replies.

Thanks for that. Wisbech is not too far. Have you used him before? Good piggies? Do you have a contact number?

Yes - there's a real demand for certain breeds of pigs. We "booked" our Tamworth weaners about five months prior.
We do the best we can with the information we have

When we know better we do better

I sold 2 litters of gos before they were born, yes I have bought pigs from him before, he always has weaners, registered and outdoor bred/reared. Let me know if you can't find his number and I will send it on.
