moving asparagus, Is it possible?

I have some asparagus plants that have been in the ground for 2 years now. I have been very good and not had a sprout. The only problem is that I may want to move them as my hubby wants to have a couple of pigs  , and the sensible place includes some place where the asparagus are planted. So can I move the asparagus?? I would hate to have to wait another 2 years before eating them.   

Any advice is much appreciated.

Hi, thanks for that, but it doesn't really answer my question. I am wanting to move existing plants, not plant new ones. Also, if I can do it, when is the best time to move them? Thanks

thanks for that. did you chop it back first??

Thanks for the advice. We are fortunate wrt asparagus and the soil is very sandy here.
