Best of luck to you, encorehunter! May they grow stout and strong and make excellent mothers. Keep us apprised of their progress, will you? I'm interested, and must farm vicariously through others.![]()

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
If you or someone near you home brew, the spent grains make good pig feed as well.
Digging up an old thread.
We slaughtered one pig and ate her, then the last year we slaughtered the other two. Holy bacon side and pork chop. I learned you only want to feed out the pigs for a year, not two. When we took the second two in, hanging weight after dressing was around 800 pounds. We filled 3 freezers and sold half a pig to help cover processing costs. I believe we ended up with over 600 pounds of meat. I had them cure the bacon this time, and it was delicious.
We have no pigs right now, but I think we will get another one or two and just feed out for a year. My wife still bring home food from the restaurant and the chickens eat it, but they dont taste as good as the bacon.
