Well the Mangalitza parma ham is finally ready, we hung it in the barn in January and john pulled it down last month. I thought i had better post a pic soon as its getting smaller and smaller John just can not leave it alone!!!

A triumph Tracey!! Well done you!

It seems that Violet is pregnant and although we are not sure of the date, she doesn't seem to be long away from D day though. So this could be us next year, showing our first parma ham. It is a long time coming that is for sure.

Just fantastic!

Good luck kate
let us know how many she has. Is violet a swallow belly?

Yes she is - a fatbelly Swallowbelly and Rose dear Rose her sister a fatbelly flubalub! Hopefully Womble has sorted her out finally!

Waiting with bated breath. None of her first litter survived - she just didn't know what to do with them. Fingers crossed for her this time though.

Will keep you posted.

Good luck Katie. Let us know how she gets on

What a fantastic looking ham Tracey , well done, tell john to leave it alone!!!!!!!!

Katie, I must stick up for the girls............not fat belly swallowbellies, but slightly rounded like myself!!!!! remember where they came from too.They do say some dogs like like their owners......... what about pig breeders !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope this time she does her mum bit and that Rose has some too, keep us posted.
