How much would you sell purebred unregistered Tamworth pigs for and at what age? I can't sell breeder pigs since I only have 2 pigs and all piglets will be related so they would be sold as feeders. I know they are rare & hard to find, and also are a heritage breed that forages well so they should go for more than the more common commercial pigs. Thanks for any insight.

Purebred Large Blacks sell for $75-$125 around here. I know it's not a Tamworth, but they are a heritage breed as well.

I have been looking everywhere for Tamworths around me, but haven't been able to find any. They are the breed that I really want.

I was thinking around $100 so that seems about right, but what age do you sell them at?

I am in Massachusetts and picked up some Yorkshire/Berkshire cross for $80 each and they were 8 weeks old. I know prices vary on breed and location.
