Hello there....
We've just taken off our three GOSs.... all 25 weeks old, one smaller than the others...
We've always been a bit lazy and never measured them to assess weight, so over last three years have always taken them off at 23/24 weeks. We've always had dead weight of 70-75kg (save for this year's obviously littler one at 62kg). Just got the booty back on Friday - and now having, as ever, 'the best pork ever'.
The day of dispatch seemed particularly challenging this year (piggies did NOT want to unload) so we went home feeling that misery that I suspect is the smallholder's lot - all that love and care seeming to go a bit wrong at the very end....) BUT, then I revisit TAS threads about that sad bit, and all the responses about what good lives we all try to give our precious animals, and if we want to eat meat etc....
Ok, I've gone off on one, sorry. Am sure your GOSs will be FAB!
