Langdon, pigs are very addictive, the smell of pig is perfume to a true connoisseur.  The fact they are so good to eat is icing on the cake.  Welcome to the land of pig-addict  :D :pig: :pig:

Langdon, I think your wife would much prefer the pig smell, to the intact billy goat smell!!  I can cope with the smell of pigs, but not hens.  I have done a hen rescue today, and the warm weather, made them smell on the journey, and  it did knock me a bit sick when I got a whiff of it.

Thanks Langdon.

Its noticeable how nice and clean outdoor pigs smell.  Recently got a pig that had been kept indoors in mucky conditions.  Took a week for her to rid herself of the smell.
