I've had the whole plan roughly sorted out in my head for a while now -
- Take the pigs off to slaughter around the 11th or 12th November (just over 6 months old)
- I've found an abattoir which sounds good and planned to book with them soon.
- I was just about to request a couple of days off work for the occasion
- We even ordered a brand new trailer on Saturday (although that's not just for these pigs!)
Then I received a letter at the weekend telling me I have to report for jury service in Newcastle starting on Mon 11 Nov!
I had a look on the form but I couldn't see "taking pigs to slaughter" as a valid excuse for deferring it... ;D

sorry no constructive help possible, can you delay taking them a week or even get them in a week earlier?
tell the jury people you believe everyones guilty of something so should be punished anyway :-D theat might get you off!!!

tell them you are breast feeding - that will get you off the hook :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim:
