KFC Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 You could try ringing the Pig helpline. I don't know if they'll be able to help much though, last I rang it all I got was crackling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 River Cottage website has a pig course on it, you will have to buy it or become a member. If you become a member you get access to all the online courses. Can't remember what it costs but i have found a load of stuff on there very helpfull. A Friend of mine who shots deer and raises his own pigs butchers his pigs, says its the same as deer with short legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimfire4969 Posted July 27, 2010 Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Round me £60 gets you half a pig allready jointed! That is very cheap, i sell mine for about £140 to £160 a half. Mine are rare breed outdoor pigs who manture slowly and are slaugthered at about 10 months to 1 year old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
