My work here is done, for a while, anyway. Time to turn my attention to a balky chain saw. BBL

My baby...feel when he just learning to walk.
He broke one of his front teeth.
I wanted to die.
The dentist told me for years that this one would probably fall out quick.
That was almost 7 years ago.
The dentist now says that if that tooth isn't out by January he will take it out.
Thank gosh it is a baby tooth.

sorry...

This is the exact photo where the steaks came from.
The larger Gilt. The smaller Gilt went to my Father for a barter for an E Z Go Golf Cart.
View attachment 1147286
Photo taken the day they were loaded into the trailer.
Ours weighed in @ 300#. His 280 something.
Was aiming for 250# but got side tracked. Got them to process just in time. After 300# they put on mostly fat because they are peaked in growth cycle. Sorta like a male human that reaches the age of 18. He is done growing and starts aging. You have to process while they are in their prime to avoid fatty meat.
Almost no grease drips or seeps from our sausage.
Took awhile for us to learn this. Years ago we would just throw bread and table scrap garbage, treats or what ever we had to get them big fast. Our yields were fatty, lard grizzle meat. Now a days, nuttin but high quality grains, greens and clean water.
You are what you eat, and the difference is night and day.

Try feed the acorns if you have them.

It is hard on us when one of our children is hurting!

They fall from the tree directly over the feeder pen. One of the reason we chose that location. Shade and snacks to flavor the meat.. You are a wise man sir..
