(pic above: top level of trailer)
The pig hauling rig worked pretty well, but I'm finding that the trailer needs some work; probably have to replace the brakes and do some fixes. The gates between the compartments aren't pig-tight; small pigs can cram themselves between the bars, and slightly bigger pigs can get their heads wedged into the gates. The doors aren't split, either, which means that if you're working with the top level, the bottom level is open, too. I'll probably split the man door to allow individual compartment access, but I'll leave the rear door solid. I will add a grate on pins so that the back door can be opened but the pigs contained inside.
It was an interesting road trip overall.

Holly Cow (I mean piglet)!!!!
That's a whole lot of pigs. How many do you have in there and how did you feed/water all those little guys while on the road and how long were you on the road with them?
What are your plans for all of them and where are you going to put them?
I see lots of bacon
How many would you guess there are? The top and bottom were loaded with about the same number of pigs.
Any of those guys going to be for sale? I'm looking for 2-3 for a fall slaughter.
