Wow 100 kgs in 22 weeks that is fast. I have just sent some Cornish Blacks off, dead weight of about 70 - 75 kgs but mine were about 10 months old. I do myself prefer a slower growing pig, i think it give a better tasting meat. But if i was doing it for the money then maybe a faster commercial pig would be better. I am lucky my pigs sell very well, but they are more expensive than yours only reason they take a lot longer to get to the right age. Good luck with the sale, nothing better than good roast pork.

I see now why they only take 20 weeks to slaughtering weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
