Buying boar semen for AI?

[tiny tim]

Hi, is there anywhere in the Uk that sells wild boar semen for AI? For making iron age pigs?
Or does anyone know of any Iron Age piglets for sale? Thanks. TT

Well I'm not offering to put latex gloves on and walk through the forest of dean with truffles and baby oil, maybe contact them and ask if they know of any suppliers

Why not put your sows to a male wild boar?

Wild boar are known to have tossed humans.

On exercise in a German forest back in 1982, it was the shindig at the end of a 6 week exercise, when a femail board and her litter strolled in. No doubt the smell of meat and chocolate helped. We spent the best part of an hour sat on the vehicles waiting for them to Pi…… go away

You could perhaps do it the other way around, by using a Tamworth boar / semen on wild type sows? Might be easier to arrange.

I had some bacon once from a friend in the forest of Dean. His sows had been impregnated by a rogue wild boar which had run amok on the farm and the bacon from the offspring was truly epic. @tiny tim if you can sort this out it could be amazing

You’d be quite the romantic down in the FoD with that approach, but seen as somewhat odd that you’re not using it on a cousin.

Deliverance springs to mind. Squeal like a pig
