By all means, make plans for having pigs in spring, BUT start making enquiries now. Some people seem to think breeders keep weaners sitting on a shelf, waiting for buyers. In reality, lots of litters are booked way in advance - some even before they are born.
How true! I could've sold this Spring's litters four times over. The sows producing those piglets will be put to the boar November/December so that's the time to book 'em.
