I'm very excited! 

I've been looking for a GOS Gerald boar for a little while....and I've found one.

He's 6 months old and I'm collecting him on Sunday  :)

As he won't be ready to 'work' for a while yet, who would be best to put him in with for company?

I'm not an expert Julie, but my gut instinct would be that as long as whoever he's 'bunking up' with is about the same size he should be fine.
If you've got any older, 'experienced' sows it might be better to keep him away from them. You don't want him getting a hard time and put off before he's even started ;)

I'm sure if I had my way they would all be in the house Rosemary  :)

My husband thinks I spend more time with the pigs than I do with him.
