Hi all,
No easy way to do this as it's fairly urgent, so here goes.
I have returned home from 10 days in Hospital after being diagnosed with non operable terminal cancer and have to have oxygen 24/7. I am immobile and unable to continue with my 2 pigs and my wife who is older than me cannot cope.

Call me sentimental but what I would like to find fairly quickly is a good home for the 2 pigs togther that can offer the 5 freedoms for the productive rest of their lives.
They are sisters and the best of friends, crossbred, Tamworth x Saddleback, generally good confirmations, have lovely natures, friendly and enjoy a scratch and fuss. They were born early 2014. They farrowed for the first time in  October 2015. One (Daisy) produced 9 healthy piglets without any assistance and suckled without problems. The other (Poppy) produced 12 healthy piglets without assistance and suckled without problems. No piglets were lost through crushing or other problems. The weaners have now all gone leaving just the two girls who could be put to the boar again for summer weaners.

As I'm unable to do anything personally, could anyone able to help please contact my son-in-law, Stuart, on 01258 860784 who will handle arrangements for me.

I'm afraid there is no way I could help with the pigs but I just wanted to give you my condolences. Just shows the kind of person you are to be thinking about your pigs rather than yourself after such a diagnosis. I really hope someone is able to help you out.

Awful situation.  Don't know what to type.

I am asking around Cosmore and if I have any luck I can come up with a trailer, it's not so far. Meanwhile I am sending big hugs to you and your wife. XX

Hello

Even though I don't know you personally, it has saddened me to read your news.

Hoping you get a home for your pigs, I'm in Scotland so too far   X
