Title: Registered gos gilt 7months old, North West Essex.
Post by: Carol Knights on August 05, 2010, 09:29:53 am: This, good natured, very nice pig is for sale as I don't need to add her to my herd. She has been shown successfully
so is very easy to handle. I need the space she occupies so I would let her go for a very attractive price for a very quick sale. Please call me, Carol Knights 07768 368053.

Have you any pictures you could email me and let me know the price you are looking for too? andrewpowis@tiscali.co.uk
Thanks

She will hogging in a day or two so if you have a suitable boar she could be put straight into pig if she goes quickly. I am only asking £175 because I'd like her to go live. She has such a nice nature and conformation that it would be a pity to kill her and she is well grown for her age because she had high qualitiy creep to get her growing well from young age. :pig:

Post by: Hilarysmum on August 08, 2010, 08:52:34 am: powispigs I have a sow which Carole bred. She regularly produces 10 / 11 piglets all well grown at weaning. There are quite a few GOS sows around descending from the original 3 Carole sent over here. If you can make the journey I promise it will be worthwhile.

What bloodline is she Carole?

Post by: powispigs on August 09, 2010, 11:42:35 am: I am sure she is worth the journey but as farmers and agricultural contractors it is very difficult to take a day off to travel so far at peak harvest time! My husband is working form 7am til 11pm 7 days a week at the moment but I am still trying... :)
