Morning Giles
I trust you are well.
We are in the process of setting up a small outdoor pig rearing enterprise and believe that the British Lop will be ideal for our situation and potential customers.
A few questions:
a) How many Boars and Gilts have you available?
b) What sort of price range are they
c) Would it be possible to pop down and see them and potentially strike a deal!?
Many thanks
Stay Safe

Robert - I tried to email you but it bounced back - details below

Great news that you have chosen the Lop for your needs. I am sure you will not be disappointed with the decision. Easy keeping pigs and a great finished product that gains many repeat sales. We produce and finish over 1000 per year all reared outdoor.

To answer your questions

a) How many Boars and Gilts have you available? We have around 3 or 4 gilts already tested in pig with another batch still running with the boar plus younger maiden gilts. Boars, there is a selection of 4/5 with more young boars coming through.
b) What sort of price range are they - maiden gilts £300 / in pig gilts are £350 to £450 and boars £350-£450
c) Would it be possible to pop down and see them and potentially strike a deal!? Let me know if interested and we can arrange a time.

All the best,
Giles

Hi Giles

Thanks for your reply.

Hopefully the above email should work better!

We are just finishing preparing our pens, equipment etc.
Once that’s completed we definitely like to come down and have a look with the idea of purchasing some stock.

Do you also sell weaners?

Warm regards
