We processed one of our sows last week
I had mixed feelings as we had had her for over 2 years since she was a 8 week weaner
However she had to go & the end result was well worth it despite two & a half days of processing!
160 kilos of meat has become
50 kilos of bacon
40 kilos of gammon
40 kilos of sausages
10 kilos of diced pork
10 kilos of mince -
plus sausage rolls meat loaf pate salamis & faggots!!
when I know nothing has been wasted on our pig I somehow dont feel so guilty about the sow
- if that makes sense to fellow pig owners?
