Nice pig Rob.

Do you eat the meat?
I've been told it's no good to eat up your way but no one can say why.

Cheers

No P38, they are fine if you get them off crop country with plenty of water and are young but the older pigs is dry country are not the best eating possibly due to their diet. Laws in Australia stop you from transporting pigs live BUT I have heard that if you bring them up on milk and not grain they yield more meat and less fat, great for a spit. Um it's nearly dinner time.
Cheers Rob

Not much in the way of crops way up north in Cape York. Lot of the diet is carrion, hence lots of parasites (and bad breath). The only way I'd eat one is from a hand raised sucker. I'd rather buy farm pork
