What was the problem with the kune kunes? I’ve got lots of grass and they’re a grazing animal.

My brother had kune kunes. The problem he had with them is that they didn’t put on enough weight grazing, so he had to feed them over the winter to make them worth butchering. I guess if you’re going to have to feed them anyway, you might as well go with a breed that’s going to put in the weight.

I said I had and said about the same as your brother.

To me adding feed over the winter just goes without saying, we account for it.

Find an Ag teacher at the school and say you want to be a show hog toward the end of the season and offer $.08- .15 /# over market price depending if you have a way to haul it to the meat locker or not. If they need to haul, you will pay a little more than if you can haul it. You will have quality meat and you can't feed one better for that price.

Check butcher date 1st, process dates are still way out there if not mistaken. Yes I still have plans for a locker but it'll be a bit yet.

Fall show season ended in September. Spring show season ends in March. Should be able to get a date for a hog no problem 5 months out.

Those weren’t even options when and where I went to Highschool. I wish it had been.
