Pigs # 23 - Update

28 weeks old, and on the weigh in this week the tape measure is showing:

Pig 1: 72.2kg
Pig 2: 70.6kg

My 'customers' (workmates) are currently requesting:

1. Lots of sausages
2. Back bacon, unsmoked, thick slices
3. Hams (the kind you boil, smear with mustard etc and bake)
4. Roasting joints

Surprisingly (to me anyway) chops and ribs are really unpopular.

Although we still have quite a lot of frozen pork, we still buy smokey, streaky bacon, so it would be great to be able to create some of this.  We had a delicious cooked breakfast last weekend at Usk Garden Centre ( www.uskgardencentre.co.uk/ - highly recommended, nice people) which came with black-pudding, which to my shame I hadn't actually eaten before.  It was DELICIOUS, and I would love to get some of this made from these pigs too!

I can imagine plenty of people buying the 'full Welsh' breakfast pack on a Friday - smoked or back bacon, sausage, black pudding and free-range eggs!  That will be our next promotion I think!
