My you've grown!

So we're gearing up for butcher time, and I always think it's fun to compare the baby pictures with the soon-to-butcher pictures!  Here's the pigs just after we brought them home back in March

(they were born in January)

and this is them taken a week ago - we butcher in 2 more weeks.  Right now they are estimated to weigh between 220 and 250 pounds:

Same corner of the barn, lol!  Today they were laying out there, and where they could all fit in snuggled up with plenty of space around them, all 5 curled up together, they can now only just barely squeeze in 3 side by side, overlapping each other a bit.  I get a kick out of seeing how much bigger they are now!

Looking forward to butchering and getting the freezer all full of home grown pork - getting that home cured and smoked hams and bacon...  ooooh yummy :)  It's going to make for a very (very, very, very!) busy could of days following butchering day, but soooo worth the work!
