Baymule’s Pigs 2018 HEREFORDS!

[frustratedearthmother]

Are you not keeping any of them for yourself? How will you know how you like Herefords if you don't eat any of 'em????

I suspect she has enough of the others in the freezer to hold her until she feeds out two more Herefords!! They are pretty to look at tho.

I'm going to keep 1 package of pork chops to try for ourselves. And yes, I still have plenty of pork from last fall. These boys have really grown off good and look to be between 250 and 300 pounds. They are on straight sour corn now, no pellets. And they still get the proceeds of the "pig bucket" which they enjoy.

What's the net meat weight that you get from this kind?

You mean from this breed? Don't know yet. I sure like the way they look so finished. They are good looking hogs.

I did mean breed. They looked great in the last pictures you posted of them.

They are looking good enough to eat! We’ll take them to slaughter in mid July.

They really ARE looking good enough to eat!!!

Maybe one day DH will give in and agree to let me raise some bacon and pork chops!!!!

Took a couple of pics today. They were eating corn cobs, I put up cream corn today. They have been fed good. Squash, rutabaga, watermelon rinds, kitchen scraps, weeds from the garden, their pellets and soured corn.
