Bennett had 9 hogs on the trap today. 2 sows, maybe 135 pounds each and 7 little ones. 3 of those were maybe 50-60 pounds, so I took those, his cousin had first dibs on the sows and he took the other 4 little ones. We put some of the little ones in my mule because they would not fit on the back of the 4 wheeler.
Then son and I hung 2 off the tractor bucket, skinned, gutted and quartered. Packed on ice. Then we did the third one. They are on ice, I process Friday or Saturday.
Naturally it rained. A misty drizzle to a harder drizzle , misty, miserable. Son got a shower while I did chores. I had fixed a pot of beans and link sausage this morning, so I heated it up and made cornbread.
Son is supposed to be back to work Friday evening. I’ll give him some breakfast sausage I made last week to take with him.
