Pig Ark Wanted

by FolkOnTheFarm 21st February 2012 at 12:56

I'm about to start pig keeping and am looking for a pig ark. It needs to be in reasonably good condition and big enough to house up to 4 weaners.

I'm in Leicestershire - approx 30 miles away. I have a 6ft ark that has no base (which is good for moving and burning old bedding) is fine 'as is' but could be 'brought upto scratch'. Wooden back and front. Some corrosion at ground level but nothing that a good bed of straw doesn't hide. Quite low. Suitable for upto 6 one year old pigs. My two fat sows no longer comfortably fit. Yours for just £70 if you wish to collect.

Happy to send pics if need be. It would need 4 strong people to lift onto a trailer or £10 thrown at my friend with a tractor would better do the job.

If its of any use, message me. You are also welcome to ask advice 24/7 and view my pigs.

Thanks,

Deb
