Title: Hiring a trailer or person to take our pig to the abattoir
Post by: willowtree on March 07, 2010, 01:28:56 pm

Hello, we are struggling to find a trailer for hire, (or, preferably, someone to hire with a trailer), to take our Large Black pig to the abattoir nearest to us in Farnborough, Hampshire. We are about 20 minutes drive from the abattoir and they shall accept our pig on a Tuesday at 10.30 am. If you are someone who could help us we would be very grateful to hear from you. This is our first time and the trailer we were going to use has unfortunately been stolen! Thank you very much.

Hi...sorry we are much too far away...but most abattoirs have a collection service...have you checked with yours?

Yes, I have tried our abattoir but the chap they mentioned no longer provides this service. Thanks for the tip though, perhaps I shall give the abattoir another go.
