Picked up 2 Poland China pigs this weekend. We named them Ham and Chops. Our 12 year old will show one for 4H this year. They had a 15 minute ride in the back of my truck and it no longer smells of honey and bee's wax

We picked up two hamshire piglets a couple of weeks back for breeder stock and I didn't think I'd ever get that smell off my truck! Keep us informed on your poland chinas...I'd like to compare growth rates.

Nice looking pigs! Its a good thing they get big because as piglets they would be hard to butcher

... check this one, from my country
They look plum scrumptious.

Yes they are some good looking hogs. I have images of chops, bacon, and smoke ham running around in my head. YUM!!

Give us a hollor when they get about 200# to 220#. That's a good size to scrape after scalding, but don't get the water to hot that will set the hair.

the pigs have topped 200#s. Feed cost were rising so I had a choise to start dumpster diving or get a 3rd job. I picked the dumpsters at 1 bakery and one gas station on the way to work. With a potato fork I just hook what I want. Bakery has a 1/2 of garbage bag of day old sweet rolls every morning and the gas station has pizza and popcorn

stepson showed one of his pigs at the fair and took a second place in his weight class

I have been hearing a bit about pig flu from the fairs this year. Just something else to worry about, or the news making a mountain?
