Sadly im gonna have to rule myself out as well,my pony thought the grass was greener in the empty pig pen and jumped the stock fence but caught it as she went over ripping the posts out and breaking the fence and then to top it off went out earlier to get some shopping lots of smoke coming from car engine so it had to be towed to the garage but they cant look at it for a few days as they are stacked up so no 4x4.
Sorry  :(

Did all the pigs get rehomed? if not please let me know we are just south of Bury St Edmunds and could take a few. We have no pigs this summer and it seems very quiet in the pig pen  :)
