Sending more pigs

It's that time of the year again when we send pigs down the road. Gary backed the trailer up to gate - a difficult task uphill in the mud. We use hog panels to create a simple chute from gate to trailer.
These are the pigs that were born here last spring. They are tamworths which take a little longer to grow but once they start they really take off.
Here is Gary with the biggest pig.
Their breakfast was placed in the trailer and they calmly went up the ramp. We put the trailer up there with them a few days early so they are used to it. Less stress on everyone that way.
