It seems to be common practice these days for people to "book" animals and then "pull out" at the last minute, such a shame.

[smiffy]

its rather frustrating as they are due to be weaned next week!! but thats the way of the world!!

[Hilarysmum]

Friends of mine had an order for a gilt to be got into pig by a certain boar, which they did, waited for months for the payments, finally she had a fine litter of 11, which they birth notified, then the "new owner" decided they couldnt afford them after all, leaving friend with a lot of unwanted pigs.  It happens, dont know what you can do to protect yourself.

Hi HM

we were contacted 3 months ago by someone who wanted to buy a quad of pigs...boar and 3 sows... they asked if they could be put in pig so put all sows in with the boar...we now have 3 litters due very soon...and no further contact from the buyer dispite numerous emails!!! I should have taken a deposit on these prior to turning them in together...but i didnt
i wouldnt haver been offended if they had said they had changed there mind...its the silence that is frustrating

3 gilts, 1 boar left

[Jackie]

Smiffy save 2 gilts please.

 Did you think I didnt want them?

 When are they ready to go?

I have left a message for you to ring me.

I agree but how long do you wait until you re-sell if they have given a deposit?  Its so very difficult, thanfully it is a very small minority, and the pig world being as small as it is out here these people soon get a reputation.

[dixie]

I have only taken a deposit once, and they let me down!!

[smiffy]

Hi jackie....i have saved you two....thanks

no this litter was reserved by two other folks just to clarify jackie hasnt let me down

[smiffy]

1 boar and 1 gilt left

[woollyval]

Can reccommend these piggies as we have some weaners from Smiffy and they are Mangalitza x Tamworth and are the best piggies we have ever had....in over 24 years!

[Jackie]

I too can recommend Smiffy's pigs as I went to her farm and saw them, hence I'm buying some of all her pedigree stock 

Thank you Tracie for posting that it wasnt me who let you down, I appreciate that as I wouldnt want people to think Im not reliable.

[Hilarysmum]

Jackie personally I didnt think it came across as you being unreliable, and anyone reading your other postings would have realised anyway...  (in case that sounds contentious its not meant to be)

[Jackie]

Thank you Hilarysmum,  sometimes the written word doesnt convey intentions as well as the spoken word and I wanted to make sure.

Id love to think that everyone read my posts about NK but that would be quite big headed. lol
