Hog Killin' by Treehugger

Oh yeah the good part about rendering the lard was when that was done a big batch of homemade doughnuts and fry bread were made. Oh the good ole days.

That's one heavy hog!!

So is there a noticeable difference in the meat quality letting the hog get that big?

Looks like we have all the guesses we are going to get. The closest with out going over (actually no one was over) was ninedeer. Hanging weight was 253 a half, or 506 for the whole thing. Remember I'm a good yankee and skin my hogs. So that sucker was likely north of 750 on the hoof. That means a lot of good pork that is filling a whole bunch of freezers. 

Should make for one heck of a BBQ!
