How about some baby bacons still on the hoof. (All my home grown stuff gets eaten first... rzzafriggen husband that actually wants to eat breakfast in the morning. Doesn't he know we just run on coffee until 11 or so)

That is very cute bacon!!!!

I agree. He's about a 500lb boar now and a PITA but when he was a baby he'd walk around until he found a sunny spot and then just go to sleep in it. It was kind of like when chicks are walking around and suddenly have to fall down and take a nap. He was named Chunk for a reason. One SOLID little bacon that grew into a very solid daddy bacon.

Yeah it is!
We have the room, I just need to learn more about it. We used to get fresh loin and sausage from a friend but they don't do it as much as they used to and all the bacon went into the sausage. It was delicious, I miss it. It'd be nice to add pork to what we grow for ourselves. We don't even bother with store bought pork and the pics of that delicous lookin bacon are a prime example of why! Can't find anything that looks like that here in our stores!

SuburbanFarmchic- What breed is that? Tamworth?

Red wattle/Duroc cross. His great aunt was 100% Duroc and was a top fair winner. We bought her sister and she was our pig that survived the Valentines day barn fire and KEPT her pregnancy through it 2 yrs ago. So this little guy was one big fat miracle.

Here are a couple of our gilts when they were little weaners.

So sorry to hear about the barn fire. Must've been awful!

He sure was a miracle!

The 2 gilts are nice lookin too!

Can't really see the bacon in those shots. But NICE shoulders on that one. They sure get big fast.
