Hey All,
We've been raising pigs for a few years now, starting with whoever was on craigslist and getting them in the freezer but now settling towards Kune Kune. Love the breed overall, and they taste great, but I notice now that our cuts are small (like, the tiniest tenderloin you could imagine and ribs that were so small they don't seem worth it) and even pasturing them as much as we can they still convert our kitchen scraps and the small amount of supplementary feed they get into gobs of fat (which is great for soap but I can only use so much rendered lard).
Anyways, looking to speed up the time it gets them into the freezer and hopefully upgrade the size of our porkchops. I was musing on a Meishan but it appears they have a similar harvest age, have anyone used Kune Kune sows with a boar of a more "production" line that crosses well so you get the benefits of the temperament/pasture ability and more pork more faster?
