portable hog building

I would love to locate a used "Hog Haven" portable hog barn. At one time they were popular, but are no longer found in this area. I am not afraid to travel to bring one home. Anyone know where a empty one may be had?
 
Which "Hog Haven" barn/floor are your wanting??? There where three types all made by Luco Manufacturing. ( They are still making them)

The farrowing barn that kind of looked like a mobile home when the sides where closed.

The nursery units and then the finishing floors.

Here is a link to pictures of all three.

Hog Haven barns
 
I would like to find one to be able finish a small batch of pigs in. I new a guy with one and it was really nice. He would just move the unit its own length each time it was empty between batches of pigs. Clean up was simple. Could a guy get one and farrow a few sows in one end, and finish 8-12 pigs in the other? Feeder pig market is always good here in the late winter-early spring, then it hard to move them. I would like to farrow 2-4 sows , sell what I can, then finish a few. Butcher the sows, keep back 2-3 replacements. This way I over winter only the bred gilts. Maybe a boar. I love raising pigs, but with the margins so small I have to target the spring market and be able to have little money on the table to possibly loose. If I build a small cement n Stick barn I dont think I could live long enough to recover the investment. I am just hoping to find a simple inexpensive way to enjoy some pigs without major risk.
 
Not sure if there are many available used, I know I had priced new ones years ago and still get flyers in the mail from them. At new prices I'm not sure I could live long enough to recoup the cost and I'm only 33!

They also have a facebook page that shows the equipment they have for sale.
I believe they have had the portable buildings for sale on that site periodically.
