Ok then, that was a learning experience. If you think we fought with them and got them on the truck -- think again. They are still here. The closest we got was the front feet in the trailer. Two young men came with a nice rig with a 1 1/2 foot step in. The pig pen was downhill from the truck which made the step higher yet. They "forgot" their piece of plywood for a ramp. Well......I didn't have any around. There was no way a bucket over the head and back them in would work with that high of a step. I thought Pinky was going to die of heat stroke so I said, "how bout you come next Mon. with your equipment, and I move the cage to an uphill position from the truck by then." They only pick-up on Monday's. So, next Monday it is.
And this has never happened in a very long time to me. I grabbed my camera for pictures and the battery was dead. Well, this has been an interesting morning.!!!!!

If they were this small we could have just picked them up :-) |

well, at least you've got a whole week to prepare for round 2 (and hopefully the final round!)
The bucket will work, but not with a step up! Good luck next week! They might be on to you : )
It probably was no fun, but I do have an funny visual of those pigs! :)
We have the same problem when we try to get the goat boys in the trailer only they aren't as big as your pigs!
I've heard it's not easy to load a pig!
Pigs are smart. They don't want to leave. :)
You are earning that bacon! The picture of the little porkers is sure cute though! :)
