Yes, The Pork Chop is for food. We haven't put a weight tape around him recently, but I bet he's better than doubled in size despite the fact that he runs around like Seattle Slew. We will butcher at about 250 lbs - that's what we like to grow them to - DH has it all worked out - he says that's...
BB, I bought the PDF version of the Long Season Pacific Coast - the next 10 months (March thru December) for $1 each. I liked the way they were laid out easily for me to see & understand, and I like that I can print them and keep them in a notebook. I thought about the Almanac, and I checked out...
