In this episode, Chuck Lewis (Sheraton Park Farms) and I discuss the topic of castration. Is it an archaic practice that needs to be outlawed? Does it still serve a purpose on the farm? How and when should you do it? We cover these questions and a whole lot more in this episode.

I’ve read that AGH pigs are less likely to have taint. I recently had a 450# boar processed and donated it to the church. Everyone said it was fantastic and flavorful. I had some of it and it was terrific. I remember praying that he not have taint. Prayers answered.

Please don’t use blue to highlight reference links. Yellow or some other high-contrast color would make them readable. (I can’t expand the view or rotate the screen to read them) thanks!

Great information. Just bred our Berkshires and joined ABA! Chuck is full of great information and I watch all his videos.
