47 Degrees Tonight - Cold Enough To Hang Pig?

[brunner]

Is it cold enough at a low of 47 degrees tonight to hang a 75lbs pig that is gutted, skinned, and rinsed off?

No, needs to be below 40.

No, needs to be below 40.

Lol.

Where did you hear that?

The general rule of thumb is below 50.

That meat will be fine but why leave it hanging if it is skinned? Finish the job in 20 minutes.

Below 50 is the temp we always went by also, don’t know how scientific it is but always seemed to work.

Almost outta ice and that ice left is on the groceries.

Gonna roll the dice and let it hang. I’ll run to town tomorrow morning to get ice.

I’ve run restaurants over 20 years. This is the standard every health dept I’ve had the pleasure of being in their jurisdiction goes by.

Thanks for the info. I've always heard below 40 degrees also but never had a reason why.
