My neighbor and I raise two pigs together . It works out better then us each raising our own . They seem to grow faster with eating competition.
This year has been a challenge, we got the pigs a month late , and I broke my leg .
But my neighbor is a pretty good guy and he was willing to do the brunt work by himself .
So today we took the brown pig , he is skinned , split and hanging on the poles .
Used my trusty little .32 colt Ballard to put him down , I just love the little .32 shorts for this . I think it's near about perfect .
Tomorrow we will get the halves broken down , ham, bacon and chops in brine to cure , and hopefully the first grind on the sausage .
