  1. Nice picks mate, were they clean or mixy again?
  2. Probably would have worked out cheaper to just go to tescos and buy the meat. . . . .. i think, although perhaps not, when you consider that they are a 'traditional' breed etc. Cost 20 quid each to buy, maybe went through a sack of feed a week, a bit less, which cost ten quid a sack. Have not really worked it out, as i've never thought of buying a that much pork
  3. Right, i bought them in market as store pigs / large weaners, so they were not tiny piglets, but a little bigger, still small enough to pick up though. Slaughtered them around 24 weeks old, although i think i may have mis-counted by a couple of weeks (as i had to guess the age of the pigs at market) They killed out at about 65 kilo each, it probably would have been better to have killed them at 50 kilo, as maybe they would be a little less fatty. Being a traditional breed they do carry more fat, which is great for taste apparently, but not really what a lot of folk want commerciall

    My Pigs!

    Some of you may remember a while back, i was asking a lot of questions about rearing and keeping pigs. Well, a few months ago, i got myself three Glouchester Old Spot weaners, and reared them up until they were ready to slaughter, and today they arrived back, and i've just finished my first sausage sandwhich, and it was definatly worth doing! Day they went off to slaughter. Lunch!
  5. We had one the other day, entered the ferret into a small warren and she ended up way off down a flooded drainage channel with her rabbit, no chance we would have got her out without the collar as she had got the other side of the rabbit from the warren.
  6. Cooking my first home reared sausages! mmmmmmm......

  7. OK, i will explain it nice and slow for you, as you dont seem to have grasped the post i wrote. No problem with poachers, have poached myself, but if you are poaching, it's usually a good idea to keep quiet, make as little impact as possible, and if spotted, either vanish, or politely hold your hands up and leave without causing a fuss. Just to clarify again, there is a right and wrong way to do anything. These folk are just c**ts ./ morons that f**k it up for the rest of us.
  8. First off, i'd like to say, i don't have a particular problem with poachers, apart from the obvious (when it's someone else poaching my land ), but some folk are just a menace. In the last week or so, i've had a couple of issues with other people, because of being in posession of a running dog. These have included a nosey and concerned neighbour, checking us out, and treating us with the utmost suspision and going as far as to say rabbiting with lurchers is illegal (we were on permission), a neighbouring farmer (of a permission) threatening to shoot the dogs if they come onto his land, a

    It's just odd mate, some folk really have no idea how to interact with others, and the power of being nice and polite.
  10. It's ok just wanting a pup for yourself and being happy enough etc, but what you going to do with the rest of them????
  11. Not being a dick, but you have five dogs, three of which you seem to have bought very recently as adult dogs . . . . . . . . . . . . . . just a bit odd for someone who is out every night, and lives it etc.
  12. It's just a way of breeding a more responsive, obediant terrier, that will probably be too large to drop to ground.
  13. Well . . . . my three pigs went off to slaughter today.

  15. Good when there is a hard frost, as the rabbits dont like feeding out in it.
  16. You get a lot more for your money with a computer, but obviously a laptop can be carried about.
