Pig Transport in South Devon
« on: February 03, 2015, 12:02:14 pm »
Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone can help with the transport of 3 Kune Kunes from a smallholding in a field at the top of Torquay to East Hill Pride Abattoir near Sidmouth - which has to be a Monday morning, arranged with the abattoir beforehand.
We don't have the vehicle or trailer to do it ourselves and we got them down there by reversing a friends horse box on the back of his Land Rover down the lane. We had arranged to have him pick them up again and take them off but he can't now.

Any help or even pointing me in the right direction would be much appreciated. I've already asked the abattoir but they don't know anyone.

Many thanks in advance,
Graham

If you can give your details I can ask my neighbour if he can help. Is there a reason for East Hill rather than Langs at Ashburton? Langs would be nearer and I've always found them very good.

Thank you for the offer. Which details would you like? Though I'd rather not post them publicly.
You could get hold of me through here which I'll check in the evenings but my mobile would be easier/quicker during the day as I'm often out. If you want the number I can PM it to you.
We chose East Hill because this is our first time raising pigs and we have heard of bad experiences at Langs and their welfare report a while back was a concern.
We've also built a bit of a rapport with Richard at East Hill and he'll cut to my liking, so simply personal preference crossed with first impressions, really.
