Year Three: 2026 brought us Bonnie & Clyde Porker! They each brought in about 140lbs.

Our first ever two process hogs! Year One: 2024 we had Merle Hoggard. Year Two: 2025 we had Barb E Que. The first year was a trial. We only came home with about 75lbs of meat. On the second year we brought around 135lbs home.
