Our hogs don't make that much meat.200lb hog would go something like this...
200
-45lbs(head&hide)
-70lbs(guts,rib cage,backbone)
-10lbs(legs&Hambone)
total 120lbs.
Meat?
Hams 20lbs each
shoulders 15lbs each
Backstraps&tenderloins 10lbs
Deboned- another 15-20 lbs.
Grand total 65lbs of meat after processing.
Let me know how close I am.Hogs are mostly head&guts.If you go rebel hogs route you may wind up with 210lbs of meat....
Alot of people do just as he says.I wasn't raised up learning how to make some of the things he can.Not to say I'm wasting meat.I am wasting guts,and a head though.[8D]I like to shoot them in the head or neck anyways.Good luck!
