Processing Day – Mangalitsa Hogs
We finally got our two large Mangalitsa hogs to market this week. They were a combined weight of 1,040 pounds on the hoof and we ended up with 765 pounds of meat. Key Packing Company in Robbiins, NC did a very good job. The Hot sausage and pork chops are delicious but we’ve not tried any of the other cuts yet. We also have to wait a few weeks to pick up our 80 pounds of bacon.
Another addition: International Farmall 140
We drove up to West Virginia to pick up a Farmall 140 tractor. We took young Sheba with us and she was such a joy. She never complained and never had an ‘accident’ in the vehicle or the hotel.
A big THANK YOU to Kevin and Carla Kirby for allowing us to use their new 16′ flatbed to pick it up. We didn’t trust our old wooden 16′ flatbed since it does not have any breaks.
