[QUOTE="tomg, post: 5365174, member: 6894"] We were a breeding unit, 650 outdoor sows. We couldn't get any decent staff and a few bad winters where my dad started to stuggle with his legs. We were contract breeders and the company we were on for were looking for nursery accommodation so we made the decision to pack up breeding. All our accommodation was in good order but would have needed replacing in the next couple of years. As it was tidy all our kit sold well. We now have 5600 weaners on to 40 kg. Most are outside but 2000 are in sheds. It's not as an interesting job (my dad finds it boring) but it is a lot easier and the only time we really need help is when power washing all the kit down. Companies are always desperate for finisher accommodation and not so much nursery. [/QUOTE]
