    Kids are clever enough.. My 5 year old was down with me over the weekend looking at our new pigs, she really wanted to know which one would become rashers and which one would be the sausages !
    Naturally she insists their names are "Rasher & Sausage"

    She wanted to know what was it like for them to become rashers and sausages and did they mind :rolleyes:

    I must stick up a snap of ours..

    there is a future for us livestock farmers so because the sisters young wans are mad for meat

    and they know well where it comes from and not a bother

    2 pics above of our first PB Lim. A bull calf by a Rocky son out of a Louxor cow. The calf is 2 weeks old or so. The other cow/calf in the pic is a BAx cow with her Ch calf at foot. Both calved the same day.

    That's her indeed. She's a big lump of a cow. It'll be interesting to see how they go on!

    Grand no bother on her at all. Wouldn't have as much torque as case though.
    Neighbours think she's small because of the tires. Eats the road. 44k no bother

    Is she 3 cylinder or am I raving? Would that account for the lower torque? She'll be a miser on juice though
