Cheers. Did you know you can print a meat certificate from the BPA site?

Yes I was aware thank you. Are you interested in purchasing the half pig?

We have our own rare breed pigs thanks but not everyone knows they can print the on line certificate.

If you keep pedigree pigs and want to market them as a breed it proves provenance to the buyer.

This is not a requirement from what I understand nor has it been required by purchasers of my meat as yet. Thank you for your input though. K

I didn't say it was but people do actually find it a good marketing tool.  We will only preserve our rare breeds if we eat them so anything that helps promote them is a good thing.

That's really useful information Harmony. I am a newish member of the BPA but hadn't picked up on this. Thanks.

Kazno10 - do you breed your pigs, or only buy them in?  We'll be in the market for 2 or 3 GOS weaners in the Spring......

Harmony, Yes, some people do definitely value that sort of thing. A colleague of mine once raved about pork he'd bought at a farm shop, from a genuine 'Oxford Big Spot rare breed' pig. I didn't have the heart to correct him, but I wondered what the cross must be - OSBxGOSxLarge White perhaps? That's pretty rare!  ;D
