KFhunter:
Don't let those pigs get too fat if you wanna butcher, they're mixed with lard pig breeds

Glad you said that.  Most folks don’t know the difference.  Some of these heritage breeds are more of a novelty and make terrible carcasses.  They generally take longer to finish.  Here is a pic of a kune kune ham we butchered the other day.  Trimmed about 70% of the weight off that thing.

Lard was about as important as meat way back in the day

One of my 4-h rabbit kids also shows kune kune pigs. I cringed and continue to cringe this year because their family didn’t figure it out after last year.
