Old fella near me used to keep them down local allotment where I kept my chickens as a kid. Used to help him go to local bakers for all the old bread. f***ing flour bags full. Used to mulch it down like a slop. f**k me they'd fight like f**k. Always remember saying watch your hands. Teeth on the c**ts go back not sat flush and will rip your skin off. So never went near the b*****ds after him saying that.

Most pigs get fed 2 diff feeds, grower for getting them big then finisher for before slaughter mate, can only imagine they taste better being fed by folk like you, but the pig feed deffo does a decent job

All depends on the size they are an the size they are wanting them away at I’m sure mate, I’m with the lad early tomorrow morn so I’ll pick his brains for ye, what he don’t know about them ain’t worth knowing haha been in family a lot longer than him haha I was with him last week an another farmer phoned him having a whinge about his piglets all biting each others tail, said it a becoming a real problem, lad told him to add some salt to the feed before it’s mixed, an guarentees it stops or as close as damn it, loads a folk would be panicking trying to give them Stimulus and enrichment when it was in fact a slight imbalance in there minerals.
