Title: Help with Pigs To Abatoir
Post by: glosguy on October 17, 2010, 07:25:03 pm

Unfortunately with everything booked and orders waiting I have been let down with my transport. Can anybody please help with either a trailer or car and trailer or that will do it for me, I am desperate now.
My two 6 month old GOS pigs are booked into Ensor’s abattoir in Cinderford at 9-9:30 on Tuesday 26th October and need to be picked up from Tewkesbury.

Thanks in Advance

Sorry, can't help, but perhaps there are farmers around you could ask? Just a thought.
There are also sometimes ads on pig keeping sites, I remember seeing one for renting a trailer at £25 a day once.

Good luck.

Try phoning the abattoir you plan to use they may know of someone.

We're using Ensors for our lambs - speak to Marge and ask if she has someone that can collect - she's really helpful  :)
