Porky Delights

Thought i'd post some shots from one of our 'Pig Days'. I'm looking forward to the next one, I want some more bacon, we've run out and egg sandwiches are getting a little dull!

Pouring salt on to a whole leg of pork is the first step in making a 'Parma style' ham

Sausage making is loads of fun

Some freshly made salami

Sausages hanging up to dry for a few hours before freezing

Frozen troughs and frozen fingers!

Fences need fixing whatever the weather!

We've been busy as per usual since the last post.

Everything is covered in snow now and every trough on the farm is frozen solid each morning.

I hope this snow melts soon. It IS beautiful, but we don't want to have to start feeding the sheep extra feed yet, not until February at least!
