@reformedacres: We don’t own a livestock scale, but we still want a pretty good idea of what our pigs weigh before they head to the processor. Age alone doesn’t tell you much. Breed, frame, body condition, feed, genetics, and growth rate can all make pigs look bigger or smaller than they actually are. 😅 So before we assume they’re “ready,” we tape them. It’s not a perfect number, but it gives us a much better estimate than eyeballing them...and can save us from sending a pig in much lighter than expected. These guys are getting close, but the tape definitely helped us decide whether our original processor date still made sense! 🐖 . . #farmlife #homestead #pigs #growyourownfood #homesteading
