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.

That is a lot of pork. Our half of the steer we processed came out to 350 pounds and filled our biggest 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.
Make some brown gravy and mashed 'taters.....

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

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.
