Hi, I'm new to the forum... With 32 hens and 2 pigs and a beehive near Taunton, as well as turkeys for Christmas.
I'm looking at slaughtering the pigs in 3 wks time when they will be 6 m 10 days old, dictated by Easter closures, being away in April and struggling now with very muddy ground  (OSB x  Berkshire) I've been feeding 4lb daily since 4 mths old and they are a lot bigger than their one remaining sibling I still have contact with. I've not tried measuring them since we had to worm them when it was not so daunting ! Bit of advice needed on freezer capacity needed for the average pig and how much time needed for prep for freezer, sausage making etc after they come back butchered., which I anticipate will need making into smaller manageable cuts (there's 2 of us )

Welcome to the forum 

You'll do better to post the slaughter-related questions in Pigs - not everyone reads the Intros
