Hi, just about to pickup ten week weaners phoned local supplier of pig feed looking for growers but only has nuts no longer supplies growers. Are nuts ok for ten week old weaners if not can someone suggest a supplier of growers in West Lothian Scotland.

Nuts and rolls will be fine for your pigs - our KK piglets start eating them from as early as a week old in some cases, and all are on them by 4 weeks of age  :thumbsup:

East Coast viners (unless you're close enough to go and collect) will only deliver in tonne pallets and the feed lasts approx. 3 months before going 'out of date'........will you use 40 bags in 3 months ?

Most agri-suppliers will carry pig food - Farmgate, Dodson & Horrell, Carrs Billington (to name but a few brands) and all are much of a muchness really. Check price -v- bag size as some can be more expensive  ;)

Hi,

Thanks for the info I am going to get the food from Carrs Billington they do a feed called 1022 it is for ten to twenty two weeks I believe, so looking forward to getting the pigs again fence all repaired ark full of straw feed and water barrel all washed ready for the new arrivals on Thursday. In the past I have had Oxford sandy and blacks two at a time now I am going for three tamworths let's hope they are just as good to look after.

Cheers
