Carnew-based, Quinn Property have an interesting farm in the form of a modern 230 sow pig unit in south Wexford on the market.

For sale by private treaty, it is situated within a few hundred metres of the R736 road and 3km from Tomhaggard while the N25 road can be accessed at Tagoat, 7km away.

The locality is noted as a strong tillage area and the presence of a pig unit in a major crop growing area is beneficial to both the farm itself and nearby landowners as it allows for efficient transport of nutrients and helps insulate the farmers taking it in against fluctuating fertiliser prices.

High standards

It has been farmed and maintained to a high standard and the buildings are in very good condition. It is presently being used to contract fatten pigs and the new owner could fully convert to that or alternatively, use it as an integrated sow unit.

The buildings are modern with sufficient slurry storage and has the benefit from full planning permission so it’s ready for the new owner to stock as soon as they wish.

As pig units are rare on the open market, it is very difficult to tie it down pricewise and any interested parties are advised to contact Quinn Property for more information on the financial details.
