Title: finnished pigs in central scotland
Post by: robert waddell on June 14, 2011, 08:14:49 am

as title finished British lop x Hampshire pigs  (from pedigree stock)currently weighing up to 110 kilos and growing available either direct of farm     or collect from slaughter house for your butcher to slice and dice             or we will slice and dice to your requirements with sausages         or one to one butchery to your requirements            saves you the feeding but you you miss out on the fun aspect of keeping pigs
the meat you get back is for your own consumption  and not for selling on :pig:

As a pig keeper myself i'm just interested to know how you can control this and if you get the price you are asking why it matters??

porkandapples     you cant control anybody selling on        there is no problem with the pig being butchered on licenced premises then sold on
it is for clarity (that i added the last bit)         if the pig was sliced and diced on our premises :pig:

As with dundonald hens I'm wondering how much per kilo the pigs are if i get you to do the butchery? I'd be looking for something slightly lighter than 75kg of meat if possible.

I'm really very interested in taking a couple o your butchered pigs. I'd be sharing one with my parents, and my mate would love one as well. He works in a hospital and usually sells about 25 of my lambs a year, butchered in the box, to his work mates. Sadly we tend only to deal with folk that can give us a price up front! You've been asked several times and nothing doing! I can't buy what I can't budget for.
