…if you detect a note of smugness, it is because “Boss Hog” has bred our three sows and is now looking forward to the “blessed event” in March. He’s a Gloucester Old Spot…and an ideal cross for our Tamworth.  There’s a good reason the British call Tamworth “the bacon breed” and GOS increases the yield without any sacrifice in flavor.  We may be convinced to sell a few small roaster pigs for your grill spit but the real test will come late next year when our first major crop of piglets is ready for harvest.
