Hi Jacob - yes it is as simple as the back of yor car, thankfully i have alrge Audi estate so lined it out with a carpet (brother is carpet man so got a roll end) then covered it with three layers of damp proof membrane (polythene) thankfiully my mate who is doing the pigs has a civils firm so we got that free as well. And then off to abbatoir where they done all of the loading and off i drove to the butchers.
The food - Wiz definately going to have a go at making faggots with the recipe you supplied and really looking forward to them!! so excited i have booked a days holiday for friday to start the big prok eat-a-thon!! sad;ly only getting a quarter of this one, the next ones to go are mine for freezer!
On a poistive note WP princess was fine with seeing the carcasses and actually paid an interest in looking for their teeth, so she was fine probably better than daddy!!!
Egglady the sense of satisfaction you will feel when you collect your pigs from abattoir is unmeasurable and you really do get a sense of major pride in giving the pigs a far better life than their commercial brothers and also producing some pork that we all grew up eating that had a taste!
