Any one got any or about t ohave any for sale? I have a friend who would like 3. I have two (or, hoepefully, 3) coming in November for me, but I don't know of any more available just now. So, if you're in the Shropshire/ Cheshire/ mid-Wales type area with any you'd like to sell.... I will be in the market for a gilt in November, if I can only get 2 from my other supplier, although I wouldn't mind if that one was another breed.

I have some (6) black Tamworths (crossed with a Large Black) due to be weaned in about four weeks time, if anyone was interested in rearing a couple.

Rob: I've forgotten: where are you? I'll ask my mate if she's interested, but I won't be ready to take any until end of November, when the other two arrive. Otherwise, I'd love one. What do you reckon the meat will be like?

Quite a distance, York.

As for the meat, if they are anything like the pure Large Black it will be the best pork ever. I would think it will be a bit quicker to grow than pure Tamworth, with the LB influence, and perhaps more 'dual purpose', but equally good pork too. Time will tell

Thanks Rob: pity you're so far away.

I bet they'll be great: they sound like a potential new 'rare breed'! I had some bacon made from Tamworth/Wild Boar cross last week, from Sillfield. Best bacon I've ever tasted.
