We have raised two pigs every year for the last 12 years and my mother likes to name them. One year she went with a literary theme and named them Hamlet and Sir Francis Bacon.

do you butcher them at the farm/ make your own bacon? I would like to raise a pig,,,,but my wife would name it and it would be here for 14 years or more? lol

I butcher our own rabbits here at the farm but pigs are a bit more than I think my skills are equal to doing right. We send them out to a butcher shop run by Mennonites in Lowville and they do a good job. Some of the more local butchers were a little questionable in my mind. When you send two pigs and only get three tenderloins back it doesn't take Einstein to do the math to tell you there's something right that ain't about it.

We allow the grand kids to name our farm animals. One rule. The ones we are going to eat get named only after cuts of meat. One year we put in 10 feeder pigs. My then 5 year old grandson named them. Pork chop, ham, bacon and so on. The last couple he used beef cuts for names because he didn't know any other pork names. This is the same grandson who when 3 was taken by my wife to her mothers place while he aunt and uncle were visiting. My MIL, wife, her grandmother, a couple of other aunts, her sister and several other female family members were all in the house talking. Conner went out on the deck with uncle John and told him "Uncle John, no more women". John loved to tell that story!

everyone questioned the local locker that closed up(forgot to pay irs).a year ago I and a friend each bought a hog from a lady 75 miles away.the locker she took them to only butcher,dont sell anything.we couldn't believe how much more meat we got from those same size hogs as from the local guy.its impossible to find good old outdoor hog around here.

We gave up on raising hogs for home use because we could never find anyone who could do a decent job of curing the hams and bacon. The stuff in the store was much better, and reasonably priced if you waited for the sales. Besides, I didn't want to end up with a chemical deficiency.
