the winter fair at ingilstone only two sets of sausages were made in approved premises and all sausages entered were cooked and handed out any previous comps to that one the sausages were handed out as samples and one comp they actually sold the sausages cooked to the public
it was the gow that were dealing with EH and feedback since the show is that south lanarkshire had the biggest outbreak of e coli and were looking for any excuse to shut them down
it is all down to interpretation

had our 7 kune kunes butchered 2 weeks ago we shared it half and half with sons family, so far us 2 have had hot dogs a few times, burgers, ribs, belly, shoulder, chops, scotch eggs (our meat our duck eggs)....you have a family of 5.... i wouldnt be parting with any of it how big are they and how long will it take to grow the next lot........ one down side is i useually buy a rack of ribs when i go to a resturant, now ive had my own kk ribs i cant buy them at a restaraunt anymore

Thanks for all the advice, this forum is great!
We want to do KuneKune next time but have heard the meat is not as good, what was your experience of it?

everyone on here with kunes raves about them , cant compare as dont know never had anything else to compare only supermarket stuff... but so far very tender at 1 year old just right amount of fat not much .... loads more meat than i expected on little pigs...doing them again mainly because easy to keep, less destructive than others i think and not big eaters but dont be in a hurry, so ime now another fan of the KK club

Totally echo Harry on the KKs. They only get fat if you either overfeed them or feed them the wrong stuff (eg barley or too much protein). Make sure they have plenty of room to run about, so they build muscle = meat

Basically, if they can't run then they're overweight.

Lyn you have not tried your oh osb yet any pig will layer the fat on if fed incorrectly and you could eat one (a kunnie )at one sitting and anyway you are all going of the point of the original post

my 7 just butchered came to a total of 280klo of all cuts inc 4 hams, 70klo sausages, 16klo sausage meat, and 10klo small bacon plus 180klo all the other cuts leg shoulder liver etc etc, thats about 40 klo of meat each pig, not fat, thats a hell of a pig out for any obese family to eat in one sitting. if youre asking and you did then try kunnies soon
