[QUOTE="Full of bull(s), post: 7849859, member: 43172"] The price for the overweights is awful but what do you do with them? My wife bought some huge rashers of prepacked bacon last week, obviously from an overweight, opened the packet threw it straight in the bin, it stunk of boar taint. Is there any encouragement by the processors the prioritise boars and keep gilts back? 30 years ago when my father managed a pig unit the boars all went as porkers/light cutters and only the gilts kept for bacon. Would also help with welfare if those boars weren’t gang raping the gilts at 120kg [/QUOTE]
