Default Rev- question about my little piglets

Rev-

In your response to my post about the Minnesota pigs, you wrote that in Texas you'd consider the piglets to be groceries.
Um, how would you prepare an 18-20 pound piglet, other than as a ham sandwich? These guys are awfully little- we weighed the three we caught and they were between 7.5-9 pounds each.

I am guessing we will feed the first three out and butcher them when they are grown, but we might have to shoot the rest of the litter if we can't catch them soon- they are really tearing up the corn field. I just hate to "waste" them.

Skin them, gut them and throw them on the grill or in the smoker

Sounds like great bbq critters! If you have pigs/hogs and they are tearing stuff up...shooting them isn't a waste! There's going to be more so shoot away before they get out of hand!20 pounders split them dig a pit build a fire and invite friends over!

Been there done that! Don't skin them it helps to hond in moisture. Just searoff the hair over the fire andthe skin will pealright off when the cooking is done.The meat melts in your mouth.

Yes throw them on the pit whole or put it in a slow cooker and cook it all day like a roast. Either way the meat will fall off the bone.

I think I must now take out the little 8 pounder I got. It will nestle snugly in a pan with potataoes. you guys are not allowed to show photos like this. It is why I have a slim runway model figure.

Actually wild pork has less cholesterol than chicken. I went on a diet last year, I lost 60 pound eating only wild game... so indulge and eat all you want, it's healthy, and you can retain your slim runway model figure.
BTW, I went back to eating fast food, I've gained 40 of what I lost back. I haven't had a chance to hunt much this year, but it ain't over yet... I'll be back modelingT-backsbefore you know it..
