Ideation 8,216 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Went to market today to buy a few store pigs to raise for meat and have a look at some poultry. . . . As always I didn't quite come back with what I set off to get I did get a couple of nice stores, Gloucester Old Spot x's to rear on for the freezer. . . . . But also came home with a nice pedigree Saddle Back sow, and her seven weavers Didn't get any poultry as I couldn't fit anything else in the trailer, but was sorely tempted by some nice geese for £2 a go, and almost bought a pen of hens for 50p each for dog food. . . . . but felt bad as they were nice lookers. . . so some old lady had a bargain Saw some nice ornamental pheasants which caught my eye, so might knock together a run for a couple. Big Momma Some of her brood . . . 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STRANGER 948 Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 You want to get a job priced up with lab for that fence mate. Looks as rough as a bag of arseholes. Nice pigs though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ideation 8,216 Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 That's a dividing fence thats seen a few lots of pigs. . . . and has been battered to shit! The outer fences are better and all have runs f barbed wire at the bottom. And the bit that appears to be flapping about in a couple of the picks is actually a loose bit of wire i hung on the fence.
