Pete, they were slaughtered as soon as they arrived at the ab.  We put them in our trailer the night before, creeping up just before our own bed time to see they were fast asleep. They had best part of an hours drive the next morning but didnn't seem at all stressed by it.

That looks great bacon. My next bacon attempt will be from an OSB, so i will have to make a note that 27 weeks seems to work well. can't wait. What instructions did you give your butcher regarding the bacon?

No instructions, just that I wanted bacon. 
They rang me when it was ready to ask how I wanted it packed and I asked for 6 slices per pack as there are only two of us. Thats as far as my instructions went. These were my first so I just sort of winged everything.
