The only thing I forgot to say was how great it feels. I am (though I cringe as I write this) immensely proud of this pork.....sounds odd I know, but everyone that we sold was looking forward to tucking in.

You should be proud! It will show up the rubbish that people buy in supermarkets for sure, we can not keep up with the demand for our Pork, lamb or eggs! Beef is following soon!

That's lovely, Debbie. I know how it feels when you get natural increases in stock. I really wish I had more grit and determination though, but think it would be really hard to take them to the slaughterhouse, having nurtured them up to that point.

I know madman. We do it with lambs (even those we bottle rear), chickens and ducks from day olds and its never easy. At least with lambs they are mostely in the field so no real twice a day contact for the last few months. Have a horrible feeling it will be worse with the piglets! Will let you know in about 8 months time!

We have just lost out on the 50 acres we were after so will only be able to keep three of the piglets........nice freerange homes wanted for the other three!
