Back bacon from the hampshire pigs, they were 76 &75 K dead weight a lot of bacon to get through       The photos taken, you can see the rind and the minimal amount of fat so no telling porkies on this topic.

Hi Lillian 
OH so jealous - only got the 1 KK to "go" between now & Xmas.  A "rescue" which I'm still trying to slim down   
I may give-up & get her done next week, so Rach can do some sausages for the SS&GF 

[lill]

 Dont worry Lynne if you cant get the kk slimmed down, the fat will make very nice lard. Good that Rach is getting involved in the sausage making, it will be fun

Lillian, TBH I've never seen such a round KK    she weighs nearly the same as Portia, who's a big boned girl 
It's such a shame, coz she's a real sweetie, but she has a "pet" background & her legs & feet are knackered.  I should have really got her "done" last month, but I was hoping to get some more fat off her - it's    to take her to the abbattoir in such a state.
But then, I have think I should "woman-up" & get her gone, as the poor thing is really struggling in the mud now

or lynne  or we have hampshires that will be ready by xmas

It will be better for all concerned to get her to the slaughterhouse soon, she may not loose any more fat than ahe has already lost and with her not being able to move properly she is not doing her any favours sorry to be aso harsh Lynne

That is an incredible bit of bacon from a 76 kg deadweight pig, really nice and meaty, quite mouthwatering.   Sooooooo jealous.    Just goes to show, practice does make perfect, even if you've got Hampshires which obviously helps.    Thanks for sharing these amazing pics - Tamsaddle

No probs Lillian - I appreciate where you're coming from & TBH it's probably what I'd tell someone else too
