I dont know if anyone is interested but i have 3 little welsh boars who are looking good. Will make excellent breeding boars and decent show boars. Will make excellent meat pigs if crossed with another breed. they are 8/9 weeks. I always buy boars young 8/9 months and under to get them used to being handled and used to the dogs and sheep! Can get some pics if anyone wants them. Will be registered.

But is it a pig reared (nearly reared) in wales, therefore a GOS or an OSB or is it Welsh pork. In all seriousness alot of people advertise as "welsh pork" when it a mixed breed or tamworth or saddleback, its not welsh pork really is it as its not from a welsh pig. Same goes for alot of people advertising as "rare breed" when its a cross bred, it really annoys me! rant over

It's either OSB pure, or a cross of two rare breeds. And it was raised Near Wales. Near Welsh Pork? Snappy title, eh?

No, either OSB or cross bred pork. No other.

Chris - I would like to try some of your pork - and ideally a ham - how near to Sally are you and have you any left? (She is coming to Aberystwyth this weekend)
