After 7 months of growing, two of our biggest pigs were ready to be butchered. We called the Locker a week ahead of time so they could schedule us in. We can't eat two whole pigs ourselves so we sold one to some friends of ours. Early Saturday morning we got up, did our chores and prepared to load some hogs.
It may not seem like it would not be too difficult to load two pigs onto a trailer but pigs always seem to know how go where you don't want them to go. after about twenty minutes of chasing pigs back and forth we resorted to luring them into the trailer with a pail of feed. Pigs usally don't fall for this trick but this time it worked (slowly but it worked). After they were loaded Dad drove them to the Locker. After a week the Locker called to let us know that the pork was done and ready to be picked up. Yesterday We went to go pick up the meat. In total the meat weighed almost 180 lbs which is good because we love pork.
