Latest Pig sighting

The pigs are back at Walcha Prime Meats.
Linda went to see them and the butcher showed us how our diet had not improved them.
I'd read that giving the pigs corn helped solidify the fat and make better bacon. Unfortunately with the mobile butcher stuffing us around, they were on that diet for longer than expected and so they became fatter than planned.
So the bacon and chops will be fattier than planned, but we'll see how that affects the taste. Nowadays the average fat depth is usually 11 mm. Our boys were 26 and 34 mm. Their weights were 83.4KG and 79.2KG (My own weight is 67KG).

The photos below show the full bodies, and a cross section of one of our pigs and a cross section of a leaner (starved) pig. Just joking about the starved bit.
