Smaller boars can make passable hams even after being on fern but the bacon is normally very dense from boars with any weight and only good for making into bacon mince to add to stuff like your venny burger mix. I have not ever had any really good WP bacon to be honest, always tough. I used to strike a lot of fern taint at Murchison, but now here in Canterbury the pigs are much sweeter eaters
