Title: Transport to abbatoir (in South Wales)
Post by: craiglockwood on May 24, 2011, 07:34:51 pm

Anybody know of any hire companies that have livestock trailers for hire.

Our 2 saddlebacks are ready to go but am struggling to find a trailer.  Keeping pigs is the easy part - getting rid of them is harder!

You can use a horse trailer and take a couple of hurdles with you to provide sides to the ramp for off-loading. Horse trailer might be easier to borrow in exchange for some sausages... Just needs a good pressure washer afterwards.
