Hi FiB,This is the meat from 2.5 Boars. I have to pick the remaining 1.5 next week.My chest freezer is now completely full,and it is not a small one,good job I am getting another from a friend over the weekend!

Pikilily.

I am sorry but I think I shall decline your advice,I stopped eating meat from the supermarkets a few years ago,I only buy from local farm shops-the other,you are right,it is disgusting!

Had sausages for lunch.

absolute heaven! I am really impressed by the Butchers recipe.

Hi

I have just seen your photo's of your meat - it looks absolutely amazing - well done!

Can you tell me roughly how much weight of meat you got per pig please?

I am selling half or whole pigs and want to give an average amount of meat that will be on each pig.. so I can advertise honestly. Am due to take my first pigs soon.

Thanks
Amanda

Amanda what you are asking is impossible what weight of meat somebody else gets is irrelevant to your pigs unless they weigh exactly the same the best thing to do is weigh your pigs and give an estimate when the carcasses come back from the slaughter house the carcase weight should be stamped on it or they will tell you then you have to deduct if you are selling boned out

Hi Leghorn

Looks like you've done an absolutely cracking job in raising your pigs - well done! Great to share your success with others too - I love a good news story.

You certainly won't starve over the coming months (and months, and months and ........)!

ENJOY!

Dee

hi amanda
we sell ours as 1/2 a pig
no worries regarding wrong weights
we weighed the meat in the boxes when its back to make sure the prices weren't over the top (never are and always get a very good deal!!
customers come back for more.....
