Well done sir. Perfect eating size too.

Amazing how those simple round ball scores on a fine hog. That does look like a perfect eating size pig.

Nice. I've never had the opportunity but do love me some pig!
Out of curiosity- how much meat will she yield? When I raised pigs, the weight of their hide at always surprised me. |
Out of curiosity- how much meat will she yield? About 70 pounds. When I raised pigs, the weight of their hide at always surprised me. Yes, the hide and head are heavy. |
What no pork rinds or cracklings? My mother used to make cracklings. I bet if a doctor saw us eating them today they would have a fit with us eating all that fried crisp fat! Mom used to salt them down and let them cool a little then we'd make them disappear.
When we used to butcher hogs in the fall there was an old couple that lived close to us. They would always come over and collect the heads (sometimes we'd butcher four to eight hogs at a time). And they'd make head cheese out of them. |
I love crackling too. However the lard content on wild hogs is a lot less than domestic and sows have more than boars. Most folks do not scald and scrape wild boars ike domestic and you cannot make fried pork rinds from hide full of hair. Cracklings are a by product of making lard and pieces of the hide are tossed into the caldren to melt the fat off. Can't do that with an unscrapped hide. Some folks who have the facilities to scauld and scrape a hog will do it to a wild pigbut how many of us have the facilities to do that? To the OP, way to go. You may even be able to get some bacon made with the pork belly with a hog that size.
