Big Light, I tried to keep a cost but being my first time I wanted it to be right so I didnt skimp on anything, I know it was way more expensive than it should have been but its my escape and not for profit. £85 for the piglets, £25 each for slaughter £60 each for butchering and the rest on feed etc. I worked it out at £220 per pig. I supplimented them with pencils just to get them to a nice size.

Still only £2 - 3 a kilo
Can't get that at the shop
Well done

Thanks Big Light. I did work it out at about £3 per kilo after butchery so was happy at that. 
Next time I am going to try and make my own bacon cure up. I bought in this time through the butcher and although its ok the smoked could be a wee bit better - its a dry cure flavour so has a very slight chemical smell until cooked. Not sure if I am brave enough to smoke all of my own incase I ruin it but I am set up for it with a large home made smoker so will try a bit!!
