Older sow
« on: October 17, 2009, 01:11:05 pm »
Does anyone know if any of the abbatoir take older sows. Shes around 200 - 250 kilos.
Ramsays won't and I dont think that Stevensons will.

Anyone dealt with Mull, Arran or Islay??

I've spoken to the man on Arran who can take her but thinks there's a test to be done and it may be expensive!
He's not too sure which test it is!!
Any ideas anyone?

Its the TRICHONELLA parasite. Pigs over a year old and wild boar supposedly have to be tested.
