Muddy bottom
We have drawn a blank with finding pig pens, so decided we would have to take the pen Gigi and Scarlett were using and cobble it together with another frame. We were thinkign- 'we'll just roll it out of the field, lift it onto the trailer and tow it into the new paddock!'
The mud was half way up our wellies and before I even got to the pig arc I was on my bum- my feet moved but the wellies stuck. I got up and we started pushing, the arc don't budge and inch, now this may not surprise sensible people- the arc is 8' x 6' and had a heavy metal frame and is then lined with marine ply- but we were convinced we could do it. After a lot of pushing and giggling we gave up and because Mike was laughing at me for falling in the mud, I decide I'd get him.......bad idea, I fell over again. While I went and had a bath, Mike asked the neighbour if he would use his JCB to move it. So the arcs are in position, the posts are in position and all we have to do tomorrow is put everything together before 2pm!
