He bought these off the dealer, up in mayo some place,  think it was 60 quid he paid for them, slow enough to grow he said, but when they did grow, they were big and touchy

Proper meat with a good healthy layer of fat imo.

We had a small piggery, a small shed which into a small field. Easier to handle. I would do things differently now if I had them again though.

Isn't funny how years ago, every one with a bit of land, small holding, kept a pig or two, some hens and ducks for the table.

Not many do it now, myself included. 

Shame really.
