I'm normally very mild when I post to blogs... this won't be one of them.
I never thought I'd actually crave to kill an animal more than Tyson: I was wrong. My thoughts on animals: we make a contract, you(animal) serve your purpose and I'll feed and house you until you can no longer fulfill your purpose. At that time the contract will be re-negotiated.
How does this apply to the pigs of evil: Not doing their f*ing job, that's what it is. Frankly, their personalities suck, their breeding abilities are questionable and their attitude is freaking annoying. They cause strife between us and our neighbor and they don't graze.
Solution: Slaughter time. Next weekend we'll put them to their intended purpose so that we can make room for new piggies. This will also give us a chance to practice slaughtering bigger animals, which will be good. They're not that big but practicing on the anatomy will be beneficial for when we actually do get animals of an intended size.
We'll start over with the berkshires... we'll see about getting them very young so that they are not as skittish around humans... because frankly.. that's freaking annoying.
They got that troublesome that fast?

Time for bacon!
Yup, bacon #1 is in the fridge as we type. The other returned and we'll most likely butcher that one sometime this week.
