Well pork is pork. I would rather have a pig then about anything else. I love good pork. But I can understand the butcher's problem also. When butchers are cutting deer, I was told they have to steam clean and sterilize the entire shop before they can go back to cutting pork and beef.
The guy I was talking to today told me that the local meat cutter wants $75.00 to butcher a deer and $85 if you want the hide and $100 if you want him to cape it. I could not believe that. Of course I've butchered my own pork, beef, deer, chickens, you name it for so long that I never thought people paid that kind of money to have it done. Now that is cut, wrapped and frozen, but how much is three rolls of freezer paper?
Congratulations on the hog. Some day I have to hunt those things. Wild I mean. I have shot my share of domestic hogs.
