John
Two people should be able to look after pigs between them, ( i currently look after 11 on my own)pigs like regular familiar routines and not lots of strangers. You shouldn't take animals on if you can't look after them adequately and you really should have thought about this before you engaged in the venture. It may be that your circumstances have changed but you should have factored into your plans what would happen if you couldn't look after your animals for some reason.
I hope you find someone to help you but make them aware of the commitment they are taking on and exactly what you are asking of them.
Good luck
regards Mandy

 :wave:hi john i think i saw you post this on another forum, would i be right in understanding you want to set up a community pig keeping project type of thing where every one shares the work and the produce, thats how i read the other post anyway. landshare goes pig share  ;).

i already have my hads full with pigs, lambs, goats and chickens atm so i am not in the running just wanted to help clarify your post.

Apologies for sounding off John but lots of people go into pigs and find they can'tcope.
If what Chickenfeed says is correct wish you all the luck in the world with your project.
