Last years pigs

I realized a week or so ago that last years pigs never (really) made it onto the blog. I referenced them on a Merrymeetingmenu post that I am working on, but failed to find photos of them that I hadn't already (mistakenly) deleted.

Then... I found this moments ago. 

Hammy Davis Jr. was the red head. The spotted pig was Notorious P.I.G. Piggy Smalls.

They got big really fast!

 

and then there were three very happy pigs! We got the third Pjork for a local camp that gave us all their compost!

It's been a busy season.

 I don't know if I have blogged about it or not yet, but we officially went crazy this spring and summer and raised pigs. Yup - two big old girls named Hamlet and Kevin. Yes they were both girls with men's names. Hamlet seems clear enough that you can figure it out, but Kevin she was the special one. Kevin Bacon is now in our freezer and she was some pig! Here's a little photo essay of their time here on our homestead.

Kevin is home and in the freezer

That's a lot of pork!!
