Hi all, can anyone let me know the going rate for transporting livestock? I have to get 6 piggies to the abattoir and unsure what I may have to pay any ideas please. It is about a 50mile trip.

Thank you

Sorry, no idea of the cost & I'm a bit far away from you to help-out.  Are you not able to borrow a trailer from someone?  It may be worth phoning the abbatoir - they may be able to recommend someone.

according to your website you provide animal transport so you can use your service.

I would either borrow a trailer or ask a mate with a trailer/transporter to take them for you. You can pay them in pork or other barter. No idea of the cost if you use a commercial firm, but it's unlikely to be cheap!

How bizzare    maybe it's out-of-date?  BB, you're a nosey lad

what are the regs for trailers... ihave a large trailer, thought i would make a box to lift on for the once or twice a year i need to....i know i need a ramp, and gate type sides to stop them falling off..... i suppose a large ply box with slotted holes as seen on lorries???

Is there someone near who would give you a lend of one? Put an ad. in your local feed merchants. you would be welcome to borrow mine but a bit too far away

Do you mean the websites under his topic like a signature? If so, everybody has these links, I think they vary and attach themselves depending on your topic contents!

I think they meant his website.  He is offering animal transport as a service on there.

Where does it show his website, or am I being ultra dim 

[Sudanpan]

If you go to the individual profile page you can see individual websites there (if the user has one of course    )

[white-blazes]

Oh I seeeee, so I was being dim  

(eta, I just looked and still don't see one, unless it's been removed)

[JulieS]

Looks like he's taken his profile off and is just a 'guest' now.  Must have been something we said??
