We had an OSB gilt (Molly) which we sold. On collection she wasn't the easiest to load but it was mostly due to the trailer ramp being smooth and steep. We spent some time discussing this trailer as the roof could be removed and the people were very pleased with it. Eventually off they went and on went the kettle and we recalled how Molly had shredded my new coat when I left it near the pen gate and how she ate several chickens, which we had blamed the fox for but then I caught her swallowing the last of a chicken's leg. We had a pen of POL opposite her and if they hopped up on her wall she picked them off. We thought we'd seen the last of her antics when my young son came and told us "the lady with the pig has rung to say Molly has jumped out of the trailer." "Ha, ha" we said. "You have to ring her back" he replied. He wasn't old enough to take a number at the time but he did have a sense of humour and we laughed. However, he was quite adamant and so I did 1471 and rang the mobile number to find that Molly was indeed no longer in the trailer!
About a mile from us she had pushed off the removable roof (that the chap was insistent he had secured properly

We lent them our trailer for the rest of the journey and fortunately she was a lot easier to load than the first time round!
