    How do yall cut up/cook a hog??

    Just curious how you guys cut up a hog.. I usually cut steaks on a deer and then make burger meat with the rest of the deer.. Then make everything i would with beef out of the ground deer.. But a hog i never know what to do with.. Do you make burger with a pig?? Or just steaks? or sausage? Wild hog spighetti sounds weird LOL.. And before anyone says it i know you cut them up with a knife

      I like to debone a hind quarter and cut it up in cubes. Then cook in the croc pot with all kinds of stuff. Also like backstrap wrapped in bacon. If it's a small one I just rub the whole thing down with pork rub, stuff with pineapples, oranges, apples and onions and put it on the pit. As far as the cutting up part I usually cut off both hind quarters and both front shoulders (not always though) and get out the back strap and tenderloins.

        Something else to try is making chicken fried steaks out of the backstraps! I was skeptical when my buddies mom made them one night at the ranch but they were awesome! Just do them like you would do a deer backstrap chicken fry. Other than that we have made pulled pork and lots of breakfast sausage !

          mix in a little bacon ends and pieces grind and season with fiesta brand pan sausage seasoning and you will be amazed. I usally go 50-50 to 60-40. Also the hog spagetti is not bad either. Think about it as italian sausage out of the casing. Just season it.

            We eat a lot of ground pork. As long as it's the smaller choates and sows it taste fine. I also make link sausage and pan sausage out of wild hog. I learned a long time ago to treat just as you do venison. Meaning don't try to make sausage just from wild hog unless you like your sausage really dry.

              This. We cut up ours like venison also, steaks, roasts, ribs and ground. Use the ground to mix with venison, beef, veal, auodad, etc for making brats, polish and summer sausage.

                  Use a Sawzall to split that sucker right down the middle. Fire up the pit and sit down with a beer.

                      This plus if they are big enough you can cut the pork chops out, season em up and throw them on the grill.

                        Smoke the quarters, grill the backstraps,and grind the rest for sausage. Don't discount the spaghetti until you've tried it! I make some italian sausage that is great in spaghetti, but just the plain ol breakfast isn't bad either.

                            We usually just take the two hind quarters and skin it back to to get the pork loins from the back. That we there is no mess and we are done in no time. We have de boned the hind quarters and made jerkey. Its great

                              I usually drop them off at Colorado City or Post and pick them up a few days later. Then I hand it to my wife. Easiest way I've found, lol.
