This weekend was spent down in Taupo visiting Anna & Tim with the main aim to buy a piglet for them to raise and then share out the resulting meat. We purchased him from a local farmer where Anna & Tim bought their current pig from and brought him home squealing in a sack.
It didn't take him long to run around his new pen and Tim had him eating scraps by the end of the day. We have named him Rashun after the bacon flavoured crisps you can get in NZ! He is part wild pig so hopefully will have a nice gamey flavour to him when we come to eat him.
Anna & Tim have also recently got 20 female goats for their two male goats they already have, so once the pig was settled we spent time feeding all of them.
There is still an area of the old woodland to clear and Tim has built a big fire pit to speed up the process. So despite the freezing temperature in the evening we sat outside around a roaring fire.
It didn't take long for the fire to take and Tim added more wood throughout the evening. Don't think too many people would have spent the evening outside in Taupo.
Not too sure how hot the fire was but the beer bottles we threw in melted and it was still smoldering in the morning.
