It seems to be common practice these days for people to "book" animals and then "pull out" at the last minute, such a shame.
-
its rather frustrating as they are due to be weaned next week!! but thats the way of the world!!
-
Friends of mine had an order for a gilt to be got into pig by a certain boar, which they did, waited for months for the payments, finally she had a fine litter of 11, which they birth notified, then the "new owner" decided they couldnt afford them after all, leaving friend with a lot of unwanted pigs. It happens, dont know what you can do to protect yourself.

Hi HM
we were contacted 3 months ago by someone who wanted to buy a quad of pigs...boar and 3 sows... they asked if they could be put in pig so put all sows in with the boar...we now have 3 litters due very soon...and no further contact from the buyer dispite numerous emails!!! I should have taken a deposit on these prior to turning them in together...but i didnt >:(
i wouldnt haver been offended if they had said they had changed there mind...its the silence that is frustrating :)
-
3 gilts, 1 boar left
-
Smiffy save 2 gilts please.
Did you think I didnt want them?
When are they ready to go?
I have left a message for you to ring me. ;D

Hi HM
I should have taken a deposit on these prior to turning them in together...but i didnt >:(
:)
I agree but how long do you wait until you re-sell if they have given a deposit? Its so very difficult, thanfully it is a very small minority, and the pig world being as small as it is out here these people soon get a reputation.
-
I have only taken a deposit once, and they let me down!!
-
Hi jackie....i have saved you two....thanks
no this litter was reserved by two other folks :) just to clarify jackie hasnt let me down ;D
-
1 boar and 1 gilt left
-
Can reccommend these piggies as we have some weaners from Smiffy and they are Mangalitza x Tamworth and are the best piggies we have ever had....in over 24 years!
-
I too can recommend Smiffy's pigs as I went to her farm and saw them, hence I'm buying some of all her pedigree stock ;D
Thank you Tracie for posting that it wasnt me who let you down, I appreciate that as I wouldnt want people to think Im not reliable. :)
-
Jackie personally I didnt think it came across as you being unreliable, and anyone reading your other postings would have realised anyway... (in case that sounds contentious its not meant to be)
-
Thank you Hilarysmum, ;D sometimes the written word doesnt convey intentions as well as the spoken word and I wanted to make sure.
Id love to think that everyone read my posts about NK but that would be quite big headed. lol
-
Keep on posting so we can keep on reading they are far more interesting than the Archers :farmer: :farmer:
-
haha hm i have never listened to archers....
wooly i keep meaning to contact you...but get sidetracked.
Thankyou
we have just taken the 1st 5 boys in ...and they are lovely... I dont think you will be disapointed when you eat the girls...they are very yummy
I put the tammys to a pedigree boar this time to breed pedigree tamworths...but next time round i think i will put at least one girl back to the red mangie boar, the results are very good!
