      Butchered one pig yesterday, and a second pig today. Hanging weight was 350# each, so live weight was 500# each. Halves = 175#. Non trivial to get on a shoulder and carry. 85# belly curing for bacon. 150# dice freezing for sausage. 20# lard rendering. 40# bone roasting for stock

      And by "non trivial", I mean, I'd lean into it, get it up one one shoulder, and then ask @LibertyFarmNH to unhook the gambrel from the hamstring, because there was no way in heck i could do that myself.

      4/ I was struggling to get the 10 mil black gloves on (5 mil blue ones go on easy, but rip just as easy) and suddenly I remembered Krieger's line "...like a latex gimp suit...I'm a firm believer in corn starch".https://youtu.be/Vn7E1mRoJ8o

          6/ This is on the heavy side. Normal? No. Normal for me? Sadly, yes. I bought piglets from local farm store the one day of the year they're offered: 20 May. I slaughtered them the first weekend that the weather was cold enough to hang them 1 week < 38°F https://twitter.com/Caine60724874/status/1066838990567936000?s=19 …

          7/ So: 20 May (maybe 6 weeks old?) - 18 Nov, both dates dictated by conditions outside my control. They grow fast.

          8/ 3 piglets @ $120 each = $360 100 fifty lb sacks feed @ $12.50 each = $1250 Total cost = $1,610 3 pigs x 500 lb weight = 1,500 ob live weight x 0.7 = 1,050 lb hanging weight x 0.7 = 700 lb cut weight = meat at $2.50 / lb https://twitter.com/Caine60724874/status/1066843334319239168?s=19 …

          9/ This is obviously not a way to save money; it's a way to enjoy the hobby of farm LARPing and a way to opt out of the world of terrible factory farming.

          10/ 6 month growth cycle. Large litters. Multiple litters per year. High conversion ratio (lbs feed to lbs critter). High cut ratio (lbs critter to lbs meat). Pig is insanely good product. This is why pork roast is 20% the price / lb as beef roast.https://twitter.com/wraithburn/status/1066854074744741890?s=19 …

          Less than a year growth cycle? Interesting, it's no wonder pig has always been so popular as a farm animal.

          12/ Just realized that these stats confirm the 3:1 conversion ratio. 100 sacks feed x 50 lbs = 5,000 lbs 3 pigs x 500 lbs = 1,500 5,000 / 1,500 = 3 (-ish) (Also, modulo piglets weighed > 0 when I bought them, also, modulo, some feed remains uneaten after slaughter)
