Pigs for sale
We are moving into town and have to find homes for our pigs, a 5 year old sow and 4 year old boar. Both are large white Duroc cross breeds. They are very quiet.
Darius, the boar won 2nd prize at HB Show for best pork on the hoof as a 6 month old piglet. He loves having his tummy tickled.
Mrs Piggy, the sow, is running with the boar at the moment and should be farrowing in October.
They have had 7 litters of between 10-12 piglets. Included in the photos are some of their offspring. The sow is $300 and Darius is $350 or near offers
Pick up is near Puketapu. Please contact Helen on 0220795133 for more information or to view.
