Yay, found gilts within 2 hours of my house! Thought we were going to have to drive to Maryland or Pennsylvania to find any. Going next Sunday to Bluefield VA to get 2 lovely gilts and super excited. Heres the only pic I have yet...wish us luck!

I'm guessing early summer before they will breed. That works out nice for keeping an eye on them! These already have their papers but my lil boars are still pending various signatures from 2 breeders. The LBHA is pretty much handled by one gal who volunteers her time to do all papers.

You still thinking you might want some piglets eventually?

maybe, if we could figure out a way for transportation, my wife goes to her moms in reading outside of philly several times a year, which should be about 5 hours from you, if we could line up a visit for when you are ready to sell would be the best probably

Failing that, there is a group on fb called Hog Transport, dedicated to getting them State to State as cheaply as possible, usually for gas. I took more pics today...
