Pigs

I took a trip down to County Laois this evening to Meet Declan who breeds Saddleback pigs, he also keeps goats and bees so no wonder I was there with him for nearly 3 hours.

These are the 8 - 9 week old bons I had to choose from

These are his Gloucester Old Spot sows, they are close to a year old and he will be breeding them this year.

These are the Saddleback sows...

These are some crosses for fattening on...

Barrel of dry cure bacon... been in the a month

A lump of the bacon from the barrel...

 

Here are mine in the back of the van, nicely settled in for the trip home...
