Weaners, especially coloured ones are mucho cheapo at auction at the moment. You could probably buy a whole litter for the price of a couple of weaners from a breeder.

thats where you decide if you want quantity or quality .......... cheap does not always mean cheap in the long run.

No indeed. And neither does expensive mean good quality. It's buyer beware no matter where the transaction takes place.

i am seeing orders come in for ours due january it looks like people are thinking well ahead

Kevin was keen to take a couple now in particular kja and the cross appealed just for sausages really in early spring however having had a rethink we would like two more lops as soon as you have 2 gilts available

Edited to say...it wasn.t about the money....the woman and her husband had literally just returned from the field with a trailer load of piglets ripped straight off their mothers totally unweaned and caught out there........she claimed to have someone collecting 10 later that day
