We've been on the lookout for a boar, and a Boer billy goat. As you can appreciate, everywhere is a long distance from here, so we have been looking at boars for sale, and billy goats for sale in similar areas to make the trips worthwhile in terms of taking time off work and arranging cover for the smallholding. We had enquired about a boar with two unrelated gilts in Devon as there are multiple Boer herds there. We also know of Boer breeders in Yorkshire, so if the boars are registered, we are getting what we need, from an area that is worth making the journey for, and helping out someone who cannot look after them at the same time.
To pay nothing for them is incidentally a bonus, we are not deliberately only looking for free animals!
