We are moving this Saturday and have 2 OSB gilts that are free to a good home.
These need to go urgently

unfortunately not we can't take them with us and I have ran out of money to send them off to slaughter by the end of the week.

They have always had a solid fence, with leccy around the top but I don't think they have ever touched it. They have been in the stables/barn most of the summer as we have flooded a lot.
We don't have a trailer to transport them

Ok hun, I'll ring you then. My landlord (bless him) has offered his old polytunnel that is completely enclosed with heavy gauge 2" square weld mesh.  It used to be an aviary for parrots. It is huge, bigger than my home! lol!  No plastic on it though so we will build them a shelter.


Anyhoo, that is what we can offer, but we can also say we will look after them for you for a while if you think you might like them back when you have settled? If not they can stay here :pig: :pig:

We are renting the land and share it with the landlord and TBH it is to wet for pigs. I love them as they are such cheeky girls but it just wouldn't be practical or fair on them.

If colliewoman doesn't have them, I'm very interested!
I am able to pick them up on Saturday as am going up there to send another to slaughter. Really really interested as needing another few to replace some. Are they okay for breeding? Could you send/ put up some pictures?

Cheers
