Getting piggies ready for market

We have booked the pigs in to the abattoir in a month. The hope is that lots of the chestnuts will have fallen by then, and they will have fattened up nicely for slaughter.
To do that Doug has put the trailer up by their enclosure so they can get used to it. They are much less scared of it than the last pigs.

Pigs in the trailer. The last lot (Pinky and Perky) took forever to persuade in to the trailer, but these two rushed in straight away.

Their enthusiasm was partially because Doug has put a lot of work in to making it feel safer for them than last time

The trailer is attached very solidly so it doesn't bang around and you can see above that there is a nice sturdy ramp. The idea is that on the abattoir day they will be led down to the trailer which will be attached to the back of the car at the bottom of the track. There will of course be a top on the trailer so they don't jump out on the way!
