My Valentine's Day Gift!-In the Freezer!!

Yeah, the trailer worked really well, and we're thinking about keeping our eyes out for a used 6X8 trailer to convert over. I'd rather have a stock trailer, but I don't want to spend the money on it. Actually the truck and cap works fine for the sheep and goats, but it's too tall for pigs.

And I'd love to come to Herdstock, but we just can't afford the gas right now! :/

She's just about 6 months old now. She was born right around the end of Jan.

I couldn't wait any longer, so I called the butcher to see what her hanging weight was. He said it was 200 lbs. I'm so glad, because I was afraid she wasn't heavy enough. Can anyone guess what her live weight may have been?

225lb ????

If she had a dressing percent of at least 70% my guess is she was 285+ lbs live weight.

We got the pig back! We're guessing she weighed between 250-300 lbs live weight. We got a TON of meat!

Congrats on your piggy experience!
