Thats a shame Mandy, think it was the victorian ages maybe a bit later when they used to have pigs as pets and had real trouble because there so loveable as piglets but then grow into these monsters.... and as you said just trash anything in site, a clumsy animal the pig yet extremely intelligent. Bet she was hard to let go? I could never be on the farm the day they were taken away for slaughter :(

There alot more powerful than they make out to be, at Jimmys farm if you ever watched that they had the same problem the pigs just run straight through and everything was crazy. On the farm she doesn't have alot of trouble for some reason, just normal. She does treat the pigs well though and they just stay in the area, they always are being moved though because they plough the fields to pieces

No worries mate, easy mistake to make. Just seen all of the pictures and Blake it is now definetly up there as one of the best, really really like it major respect for you it's awesome. I like the way you haven't over crowded the yard and have implements scattered in places. And those new sheds.... i take my hat off to you Nice one more pics regularly please :)

Have you pasted the wrong code? We can still see the pictures Blake so it's not life and death just a bit of a pain Did you do IMG code?

Sounds pretty dodgy, pretty powerful. The porkers must get a pretty good shock if they brush against that :o Was going to ask also Sean you see the Schleich pigs now, with your pig unit did you get Schleich? I know you were thinking about it?

Cheers Sean, that would be a great help mate. And wow i didn't know they could do that? Hmm .. i know that where i based this on that she has had to have an operation on her knee because of years of touching the electric fence and stamping her foot after the shock Well.. not the main reason for the op but certainly damaged it alot \

I don't like people like that, deliberatly miserable. I steer clear of people like that but fortunately most of the drivers are around my Dads age so it's quite easy i find to interact with them if you get what i mean. Thanks for the kind encouragement, really appreciate it :)

Well it's your area Sean that i got the idea from :D But basically it's quite convenient because if there was an old farm where the new farm stands it is really convenient and isn't a huge setup so alright for a farmer on not that a high budget :) Like my diorama

Yeah these will be free range Sean, the idea being that i have fencing leading from the back door to a fenced in enclosure. Where i used to work she had a similiar set up. Fenced off outdoor pens with an old building to give the pigs shelter at night :)

Had this in my hand whilst reading the post Marky, maybe a good base for the irrigation pump? May give it a go if i can find an identical or smaller trailer this one is being used

Forgot to mention that if you vote with a bit of work, how can i improve it to make it look more realiastic?

Tell you what you've got guts with the doners for that :D ...... But what a pay off, looks awesome i quite like that. Really good job ;)

With piggys in and i tell you what SMurF i didn't even do the pit stop right, i made a huge mess of it :D Out of my scaletrix days however ...

Well undecided about this, an old Scalextrix pit stop. The stickers and 8 sign are all removeable but do you think it would work as a good pig pen on my layout? Was extremely undecided. The idea is to put a pen on the back so it works as a kind of shelter? I don't mind if you hate the idea

Thanks Belarusfan, thats my method so far. All on footpaths but lately the irrigation guys have been giving me dirty looks so i just give them a cheesy grin. I've not been told to stop or to go away ever and if i do i will. And thanks for being so optimistic about my future Will :D Don't think there that extreme :)

Some more excellent pictures Will, love the little Krone baler? Any good? Still jealous Mr.!!!

Sounds awesome to me Graham, i'll get up and that will be brilliant :) If i give you my mobile sometime in the week i'll give you a call on Saturday :) Thanks alot mate, never knew you did this line of work?

Front row seat to the tour de France today which was excellent, then fiddled around with the pictures and then been taking some more pictures looking for a suitable entry into the photo competition.

Yeah im bored with that think i'll do it Scotts way

Hmm yeah but where i took the pictures from where all footpaths, i didn't actually go into any of the premises, Gedneys is on a footpath, Barkers on a road and the last one on a footpath. So i don't know but if there is someone there i'll always tell them \ And hmm i didn't know that I knew that Barkers sold out a while back and are in a bit of trouble from rumours i've heard but didn't know about Gednee... hmm thats a shame \

Thats right Gednees Graham, i know Mr. Gednee quite well he promised me a job when im 16 :D Well thats just sods law mate, that would of been quite a coincidence. Im like 5mins from there so if your in the area again feel free to drop in ;) It's quite an unusual old place in there, with the cemetery next to it it gives me the creeps :) Yeah sorry Ben, i know im going to get in a lot of trouble one day but i know quite a few of the people so it should be alright but im more worried about being hit by something \

Unbelievably difficuilt! I got a rythm going last night but fell asleep and been at the tour de france today so need to get it going again \

Spose i could do that Rich, wish it was that simple. At Barkers they wouldn't understand you ... all German And the others today all walked round in hi-vis and if i said hello they would probably die in shock .. :( I want to see what really goes on though, see how everything is packed would be very interesting \

As i said earlier Will, im the most jealous person of you in the world!! :o :D Awesome pictures mate, really looks like great fun. Enjoy it tomorrow as well mate, hope you get everything done in time and what not. When do i move in :D

I like that alot Paul, a very good representation
