7th Batch

 On 2 November, we delivered eight hogs to Golden City Meats.  All eight were sold to friends.  Six of them, were born on Anchored Farms to our sow Crimson on 20 February 2020.  At 8 months of age, their carcass weights were; 222, 214, 198, 194, 189, and 178 lbs.  The remaining two, were Red Wattle/Herford cross that we purchased and were about 45 days younger than our six. They dressed out at 162 and 160 lbs.

A big thank you goes out to the people who reserved them when they were still small piglets.
