Really sorry I missed meeting up with you all. Had to build a pig ark from scratch because Steve the boar has been on the rampage again. Hope everyone had a good time. Will keep an eye out for future events and hope to meet some of the new faces soon. Wish I'd had such an enthusiastic and helpful network of smallholders when I was starting out.

All the best,
Liz

Had to make a temporary maternity wing, so lucky i didnt come along. My big girl decided to go into labour during our hurricane. Managed to get her into the warmth of a spare trailer. All happy bunnies there now. A first for our new boar Arthur !

Always handy to have a spare trailer! Had to do the same when a pig that shouldn't have been in pig started nesting furiously in a snow storm. I was so glad I hadn't sold the unroadworthy old Ifor Williams on eBay.
Good luck with the litter.

Sorry you couldn't make it.
Liz ... was going to pick yr pig experience.

My livestock trailer is still a temp poultry house ...see other thread for details... but hopefully today they can be put into a new shed. Bought elec netting but not as happy they are safe from fox as when they were in the fab pen Ian had spent weeks building
