I have no knowledge of pigs whatsoever but i'm slowly learning with the intention of keeping a small number of them in the future so excuse the pig ignorance
I'm happy with everything i've learned so far but the killing/butchery side of things looks to be a major expense and to be honest its something I would be quite happy to undertake myself.
Now I'm not up on the laws and regulations covering pigs but is there anything that would legally prevent me killing and butchering my own pigs at home for home consumption only??
I've butchered the odd sheep, quite a few deer etc so I have no problem there and although I appreciate pigs are different, I can learn as I go.
Can it legally be done?
