Love it. Nice to see them relaxed and enjoying the fresh air.

Here's my caption for the t-shirt pic: 'Even old cows love pigs!'

And another: 'Moo-ve over, we were here first'

1 whole pig = 1 full height freezer, Cobra, time to get yourself registered on e-bay!  ;D You must have a big family!  ;D ;D

I'm already looking including FleeBay  ;) Got a couple and yes family and neighbours are all very keen. think Ill have plenty left over  :D

Ive been also spending time looking at sausage making and different cuts etc, although I may not be quite so enthusiastic after a day or two in the kitchen  ??? ::)

Can we start a slogan thread for the t-shirt pic? Mine is 'Even old cows love pigs!'  :D

Looks like you've kicked it off Nicely  :D

Congratulations- Well done you   I remember the pleasure of seeing my first pigs, even now when I buy in a couple I spend hours watching them do their piggy things and being happy, and if they have to be eaten - well they would have been anyway, and if we couldn't eat them they wouldn't even have had a chance to exist.

All the best and enjoy all of it

You can never ever have too much good home grown free range pork.
