  1. That are RH but with korda plastered on em
  2. These are for 2 mates and my dad. I've got 3 more to do tomorrow, 1 for me and 2 for freezer.
  3. I got 3 done today. The weights are guts in. I will dress them tomorrow.
  4. Well I've run out of days for hanging now....hope I haven't spoiled em!
  5. I was advised to hang em for 24hr only by local farmer who does em every year.
  6. Turkey cull this weekend ready for Xmas day. Will be on blower to abbotoir/butcher in-between Xmas and New yr to get the porkers booked in for early Jan too.
  7. Well having come home from lodging last night had a nice surprise this morning.....First eggs I wasn't expecting any until spring but seems the recent warm spell might have nudged them to start producing. Doubt it will continue if the temps drop again but its another milestone. These will be eaters until probably march then will start incubating a dozen every 6 weeks. Depending on fertility rate I may end up getting a bigger incubator.

    I put my back out yesterday again. Thing is I know what makes it a risk, I know how to stop not being a risk, but I go in a cycle because of work and other things! When I am eating well and exercising regularly I have no issues whatsoever. I keep this up while work is quiet. When work gets silly busy my exercise and eating well goes out the window, usually twinned with increased drinking, longer hours, more travel and sat on my arse longer days. Site I'm trying to hand over next week has been hectic for about 2 month now and I have been all but living there. On Monday I said to
  10. How's your place coming on wilf? Think last I saw you had just got them black faced sheep, did you end up getting cattle/pigs?
  11. Dont disagree pal and its wasn't about judging what people can afford. We just can't be hypocritical about the chinks with dogs when we do the same with most animals. It only upsets us because we don't see dogs as food. Same as French with horses, they have horse farms attached to abbottoirs. Haven't tried my home grown yet....looking forward to it though!
  12. None. I would look for water, shelter, food. I would enjoy some peace from the wife. Hopefully get a few yrs out of it before a passing plane accidentally found me, then I had to go back to real life and convince people I wanted to be found, really wanted.
  13. I disagree Mankind is the curse of mankind. We are f***ing awful and only getting worse. I would love to live on an island with no c**t else, don't think I would worry to much other than shelter, food and water. All of which is available for free but we have been told over years that they aren't?! Told by people that don't want us to realise that all is available for free!!!! Anyway, it's not religion, it's the same everywhere
  14. Also the immunity to anti biotics that has been forecast for years is due to WHAT IS IN THE FOOD CHAIN not what antibiotics you are taking! They feed animals antibiotics pre slaughter, not because they are ill but to up their weight because they carry water! Had this first hand off of 3 different pig farmers. 2 retired, 1 current.
  15. This thread has really struck a cord with me. This is why I am raising my own meat. Have any of you complaining researched the UK commercial meat industry? No different to the dogs in the original video only sub in pigs or chickens or whatever. The UK supermarket meat market is shocking and wrong, poorly regulated and just forced to grow as fast a possible for commercial gain. Not for GOOD MEAT. Watch a doc on Netflix called Hogswood. Don't agree with what/how they did it.......but can't argue with the footage. Cant talk about chinks mistreating dogs for meat when we do exactly
  16. Exactly why I want to pay a butcher mate rather than DIY. That was always my intention. Want to maximise what I get from these.
  17. Been quoted 25quid each pig for slaughter and cut down middle, so 50quid and could collect 4 half pigs. The place I want to use hasn't given me a quote yet on butchery, it depends on what you want, if you want sausages etc (which I do) then price goes up. Not really sure what to base it on but I expect a skilled butcher would have job done in an hour. Sausages take more time grinding mixing etc and cost of casing which is where the cost is. I had in my head a couple hundred quid all in for both pigs and plenty of sausages....Will let you know when I find out!
  18. Not for this, guna keep trapping and might spend some.time out there with air rifle. Got 3 dogs already, had 4. Lost one this year and it broke r lasses heart. 2 of these are knocking on now, 14yr old Westie and 10yr old lab so more heart ache to come. Think we guna take a break from having multiple dogs, just keep pip my lurcher once the other two pass.
  19. A few pics of the pigs. They have filled out well and are ready to go really.
  20. No issues with foxes yet, though I don't doubt they are visiting every night. I'm guna stick some wildlife cameras up to see. We do get rats here, not over run with them but with us backing onto a farm they are here all time. I've noticed a point where they have been getting in the external run and put a trap there, had one so far. No signs of them getting in chicken shed.
  21. Moved the last 3 from the brooder to the hen house. With the big drop in temps over last few weeks I kept them in longer than I normally would. The hens seem to have accepted them without too much trouble. Couple of the turkeys are really big now. They need to be processed in the next couple of weeks. Considered doing the pigs pre-xmas but everyone is too busy so they will be going Jan as first planned. It's all very wet and muddy here now temps have come back up!!!!
