Your listing should always make it easy for buyers to say yes. Use this guide to set a smart price, capture photos that build trust, and post where buyers are already searching.
What makes Berkshire listings sell fast
- Clear purpose: feeder, breeding, show, or homestead
- Transparent price and what it includes
- Sharp photos, basic health info, and any registration details
- Clear pickup instructions or transport option
- Fast replies to incoming inquiries
Pricing that attracts clicks and commits buyers
Start with a simple three-step framework.
- Compare at least 3 to 5 active Berkshire pig listings for sale within your drive range. Match for age, registration, and sex.
- Take in consideration: Registration and pedigree, show qualities and recent wins, litter uniformity and growth, vaccination and deworming record, and distance to dense buyer areas.
- Post the public price, but set in your mind the lowest you would allow for haggling ahead of time.
Typical Berkshire asking ranges
Use these as planning anchors, then price to your local market and listing quality.
- Feeder piglets 8–10 weeks, non-registered: $90–180
- Registered Berkshire piglets: $250–600
- Bred gilts or young sows that are registered: $600–1,200
- Proven boars that are registered: $400–1,000+
- Elite pedigrees: $300–1,200+ depending on lineage
Seasonality tips
- Prices often rise before fair seasons and major shows
- Expect more inquiries towards the end of the week and Sundays.
Photos that build trust
Buyers decide in seconds. Aim for 3-5 photos that capture the best of the following: full left and right profile, front and rear to show width and leg set, topline and loin shape, head close-up with ear notch or tag visible, underline on gilts and sows, 12+ well-spaced teats, hooves and pasterns on clean ground or whole litter for size uniformity.

Write the listing that converts
The first 120–150 words of the description should highlight traits, talk about the diet, and details on the health routine. Of course, we’re assuming that the price, location, type, birth date, registration and weight are already prominently featured in the listing’s other sections. Other things you may want to list include pick up and/or transport options.
Keywords to sprinkle (if applicable) for showing up in Google
Berkshire piglets, registered Berkshire pig, feeder pigs, breeding gilt, Berkshire boar, or show prospect.
