Damn, i wish i'd seen this yesterday

I would have gotten out of digging the new veggie patch

hey HH, how much were the weaners selling for?   (just planning my next/first trip to market!!!)

Hi egglady,
Here goes !
Saddleback x boar weaners £28
Saddleback x sow weaners £62 
Tamworth x weaners (the ones I missed !) £34
Large white (7 months) £40
Landrace (7 months old) £25
Kune kune x £29 - just couldn't fit them in the car either or I might have been tempted !
Large white in-pig £140 (last litter 10 piglets)
Large white working boar £65 - apparently he was 2 years old, but there were a few folks reckoning he was a good bit older than that.
And the sweetest Large black (ped & registered) sow £80

The next poultry sale is Thursday 27th May, there's a rare & minority breeds sale planned for Thursday 19th August - I'm not sure when the next pig sale will be, but I'll be watching the website and will post when I see it mentioned.

I have ONCE transported weaners in a dog crate in the back of the estate, and will never do it again... piglets were not good travellers, I leave the rest to your imagination... very smelly car indeed.... Trailer now ALWAYS.

lol Anke, one of my trips to collect weaners was very memorable 
A 1 tonne feed back in the boot of my very shiny and new company car he he he - but a can of neutradol later you'd never have known

Just marked the next one in the diary, so we'll be there too   

Note to self...... beg, borrow, steal some wood for the big coop
