Title: Four Kune Kunes - Free
Post by: PPF on March 14, 2013, 01:43:44 pm: Long story short. I took on four Kune Kune pigs from someone who's land was flooded.

I'm having a rough time at the moment and need to lighten my workload rapidly.

These pigs are looking for a home. Two females and two castrated males. Well behaved, friendly, respect electric fencing and will follow a bucket.

I think they are around 18 months old.

Please message me on here or I am Letterbox farm on FB.

They probably would be better in the freezer, however I couldn't fit that much in and I can't find enough people to take the meat.

Post by: Dogwalker on March 19, 2013, 10:52:00 am: Is there anyone else around the area who'd go shares on this.

Leintwardine abattoir charge £50 for a 50kg pig kill and cut plus £1/kg over that.
They could take them next Tuesday 26th March or after Easter 9th April.

From here it would cost me about £70 in fuel to collect the pigs, drop them to Leintwardine, get home, then to go and collect the meat.

So can we find a solution and help out a fellow TASer.

Post by: Rosemary on March 19, 2013, 10:53:40 am: Sounds like a good solution!

Where are you?
Title: Re: Four Kune Kunes - Free
Post by: bloomer on March 19, 2013, 10:55:31 am: they are way down south

otherwise my wallet would be open...

Post by: Sbom on March 19, 2013, 12:23:08 pm: Hubby says no :( we can't have them.
Abbatoir near me charges £25 to kill and cut up and can take any Monday or Thursday if that's any help?
Bromsgrove nt that far from me

PPF, would you be able to take them to an abattoir if there were people to buy the meat from you?

Sbom, which abattoirs that, it's the cheapest I've heard of.

Post by: Wouldbesmallholder on March 19, 2013, 12:46:45 pm: I would happily collect 2 from Bromsgrove abbattoir at £25 each plus some fuel payments to someone - however mid wales may be a little far for me from guildford!

Post by: muddyhill on March 19, 2013, 12:50:17 pm: If anyone is passing Abergavenny or Bristol we'd take some!
Title: Re: Four Kune Kunes - Free
Post by: Wouldbesmallholder on March 19, 2013, 01:33:34 pm: If anyone has the means to transport them down to hampshire I will happily pay for the delivery. Ockwells Abbatoir (Farnborough) charge £17.67 per pig.
Title: Re: Four Kune Kunes - Free
Post by: Sbom on March 19, 2013, 01:55:06 pm: Dogwalker, it's Sargeants at Bramshall near Uttoxeter, about 20 mins from Stafford which is where I am. It's extra for bagging and labelling but I do that myself.
Title: Re: Four Kune Kunes - Free
Post by: Dogwalker on March 19, 2013, 02:42:12 pm: Sbom,unfortunately that's the wrong direction from me.
I was thinking Leintwardine cos that's on the way back from Bromsgrove to here.

Nice thought but I think unless you can collect that's a non-starter, we've all got too much to do with our own animals to spend days driving pigs or meat around the country.
