I weighed a few hoggs other day quite a few over 60kg! Been in a field on its own since they were weaned, I knew they were big hoggs but they were a little larger than I thought!! Most are texel x mules with a few 3/4 texels so i think I’m going to pull the big gimmers out and keep them if the job doesn’t improve for the heavy hoggs. Only problem with them is that they are all my reared triplets which I don’t normally keep back to breed from - does anyone else?

Wont make any difference and they will be as good as any.
