Hi there!
Getting the pigs off last week wasn't traumatic but it was sad. Hilarysmum, thank you for your post on my last supper post x It took 3 of us to finally get them into the trailer!! One did as he was told the other managed to push up the ramp barrier and went off for a trot up the lane!
I saw the boys right to the door and was glad I did but have certainly missed them this last week, its bizarre I still look for them when I pass the gate as they would always gallop across the field towards me for food! Definitely will do it again!
Just been to pick up them this morning and I struggled !! Their tickets said 68kgs & 57kgs ! Not sure if that is good or bad for 27wk old piggies but will find out when we do the cutting tomorrow under the supervision of a butcher friend! Didn't look like there was too much fat!
Two more titles to add to my never done before list of things I've had a go at! Pig keeper & soon to do Butcher!
Chest freezer is on and 'warming up'
Afternoons job is to plan which cuts, bacon cures & sausage recipes! Any tips!
Wizz x
