Big Guy,
doesn'tlook like you were busy at all. With the few pictures you showed anyway. Looks more like real busy
Was that your own pig? Curious because you paid $25 for the kill. I always enjoy your handy work thanks for sharing.

No not my pig. That is the way the local abbitoir sells pigs, $0.85/lb goes to the pig owner and a flat rate ($25)to them for the kill.
thats a lot of work for $25,to kill ,scrape, gut a hog, then have it inspected and chilled out, cut in half and carried out to my truck, and disposal of the un-usable bits.

I wish I lived close to you! The meat looks great!
I would be brined in Budweiser by the end of the process though.
We dabble a little in making our own sausage. It is truly an art that requires the correct equipment and recipes.
