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.

What's one highway or road that needs attention?
We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.
If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.
Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
