After you kill a pig.......

[ezypikns]

Then what?

Obviously you'll field dress the rascal. It's after that I'm thinking of.
We usually take our deer to a processor, but I might like to try butchering a hog by myself.
Of course, what I'm hoping for is a young one, no more than 100 or 125 lbs.
What can you tell me?

quarter, take out straps and loins, cut out ribs, wrap and freeze!

I like to grind some up and have pork burger's, spaghetti, and whatever you can use ground meat for.

Make sure and find the glands in the hind legs. About the size of a quarter. do a search for texas boars and you will find some pictures on the site. I usally just debone the back hams, and tenderloin and dont even gut the thing. Unless we need one for the pit or sausage. The back hams and backstrap are where it is at on a hog. The rest is buzzard food. I also like to do the soak on ice for a few days to draw out the blood and adrinaline.

I've been taking hog meat to Kuby's in Dallas for years, off I35 and Mockingbird. Every thing I've had made there is excellent. I've always taken boned clean meat, but I'm almost positive they'll process for a fee. I know they do hundreds of deer per year... Had bratwurst, smoked sausage (klobase), hot links, breakfast sausage, italian sausage, salami, chorizo,all from wild hog. All great and at reasonable prices. Take your meat there during the off season to cut down your wait time..

I usually give mine to a guy who lives close to our deer camp who helps around some. He loves those nasty/tasty things.

hams and loins -- leave the rest for the yotes.

[HeloMed1]

I leave them laying where they die.

Depends on how late it is when I kill it. Sometimes the critters eat good!
