HI,james,
Your welcome to come and visit us ,were just near harrogate so not far from you. You can come and look round our show pigs and any advice u need we can give you.I have a lot of sows due to farrow in january which if you were wanting to show next year they need to be born in january ,July or September.So to start you off youd be better with a couple of january gilts then progress from there.
Many Thank
Sarah Whitley
