Really good Tamworth boar wanted
« on: August 06, 2012, 06:41:27 pm »
Looking for a really nice example of the breed, preferably a Yorkshireman, but open to suggestions, as long as the pedigree is okay for my stock and as long as he meets the breed standard. Prefer if he wasn't a Royal Standard.
 
Age: prefer no older than 18 months. Good temperament essential.
 
Willing to travel for the right one, but I'm based in south Wales, so he would have to be a cracking good boar for a four-hour journey.
 
Please email me with pictures (sideways-on, full length; head from side and front) to [email protected]
 
Thanks
Liz
