Hi. We are looking for a Tamworth weaner boar. If any one has one or knows of someone who does, we would be interested to hear from you. Preferably Perthshire or Central Scotland.

Have you tried searching the BPA website?

I have some but were only born yesterday, there are also 2 for sale at Lanark Market on thursday at the rare breed sale!!!

hi

Have tried BPA but only one post with TW weaners for sale in this region- unfortunately they have no boars that are "in tact"!

Need one in tact to breed off Blossom, my TW gilt. (eventually!)

Thanks for your help.

I've got half Tamworth pigglies born in March (1/4 saddleback, 1/4 berkshire, 1/2 tamworth).  You could have one if you're quick cos they're off to be killed this week.    I'm in Perth.

My husband had a number for a guy at Methven that had full Tamworth boars.  I'll try and get the number for you.

We really struggled to get a boar for our girlies and ended up with a Tamworth with a bit of wild boar in him.  Apparently wild boar are very tasty!

We get our fattening weaners from them and they don't castrate.

Rosemary, I have spoken to Mike Melville today and am going to look at a boar he has in the next few days.

So hopefully will be sorted out then.

Many thanks everyone for your help.

Glad to be of assistance. The Melvilles are lovely people.
