Hi all just to introduce ourselves we are small holders in south Shropshire running large blacks and oxford sandy and blacks trying to start up a small charcuterie business

We brought a couple of weaner's three years ago for pork but after a couple of years doing pork we decided to diversify we are now running a few breeding sows complete with large black boar

Just out of interest does any body have any young stock for sale preferably gilts as we are short of young stock, about 6 months of age as we will run them on to about 12 months or to a weight of around 200-220 lbs dead weight  :pig:

Well thats enough of us except to say hello to one and all  :wave:

Hi and welcome from the Scottish borders, sorry cant help with the young stock I am getting 4 OSBs this year as a change from saddlebacks. May try Gos next year, I don't have the space to breed my own so just keep a few over the summer/autumn  :wave:

Hi welcome, nearly went with OSB's myself some years ago.  Decided against as then there was no AI for OSBs.  Lovely pigs though
