Title: OSB finishers - Central Scotland
Post by: Beewyched on August 23, 2012, 11:22:38 am

The roof of the range at the back of our holding is collapsing & our landlord's not got it insured  ::) , so is allowing it to go.  Unfortunately we didn't know this until recently - we'd thought it was going to be box profiled  :o
We have 4 5 month-old OSB's in the middle of the range & we don't think the roof's gonna last another bad storm - both ends have completely collapsed & the 1 next to where we've got the pigs, the roof window has just gone in their bit this morning  :o :o :o
Anyway, to cut it short, anyone interested - they'll be up to pork weight in 4-6 weeks.  We're certainly not gonna give them away - they are the remains of my OH's birthday pressie - so any serious offers PM me.

Unfortunately my KKs agree with you  :o  - don't know what DEFRA would have to say about it  :thinking:   I've been trying to integrate the youngsters since before weaning & it just ain't happened  ::)
They're left for their new home now - non too soon either, the 1st crossbeam fell down overnight  :relief:
