This is a brief discussion thread where a buyer asks about pig growers and the seller responds with specific stock details and pricing. The conversation focuses entirely on the availability and cost of Duroc pigs, with no broader agricultural themes, pain points, or coordination efforts discussed.
Prices:
Duroc pig: NGN250000.0 (N/A)
“Yeah, I know it's old, which was why I said... Duroc , like I earlier on stated is what I have. I don't have growers that have been mated yet. What I do have are a few durocs that are five months old and I'm selling them for 250k.”
“250k for the 5 months old brown durocs I have.”
