Feeder Pigs 2017

Like I said a pure hog killing machine you are.

I didn't kill the pigs. Our neighbor is a Viet Nam vet and was a sharpshooter. Who better to shoot the hog? One shot and the hog dropped like a rock.

This is the last one for a long time. Might get feeder pigs again in fall of 2018. Spot probably weighed over 300 pounds on the hoof, that's a lot of meat for the freezer.
 
I'm going to cut it into pork roast, cut the loins into boneless chops, sausage-pan and smoked link, and bacon. We're not that crazy over ham, so we won't miss it.

I love a pork roast, I cut slits in the meat and insert garlic cloves on both sides of the roast, rub with powdered ginger and pop in the oven. :drool Make some brown gravy and mashed 'taters.....:thumbsup
 
Since you are cutting out the loin and having boneless chops
What are you doing with those back bones ?
 
Another thing
We had to make the appointment for the steers 3 months in advance
You said the slaughterhouse couldn't take your hogs until
Aug 29th
Is this a nationwide thing about demand for slaughtering and butchering
I know it's a tough business but it seems to have more demand than supply
 
We tossed the backbone. It didn't have much left on it by the time I got through with it. Why?
 
We use a Mennonite owned slaughter facility. They are honest, fairly priced and the boys (teenagers) are taking over the business from their father. We are taking 3 lambs there in September.
