He was telling me the other day how he’d been turning 55kg Suffolks back to the hopper as they don’t sell well till they hit 60kgs…

oh to be a rich arable farmer with mountains of practically worthless corn to grind up and feed to the hoggs!

Some of these that have just come went over the Longtown scales at 51kgs. But lean, be interesting if I can get them down to 37’s in a month… 😁😁
Trailer was full, had to leave something behind 🤷‍♂️

If I was an expert finisher like you I’d be able to get the dopey pansies away before 50kg 😂

To be fair, if they were Suffolks, they’d probably still lack finish at 55kg.🤐
At least he knows his product…
