This little piggy...
« on: March 01, 2012, 10:49:28 AM »
Took this one off to get butchered this morning  166# on the hoof, getting it quartered up for the smoker.



Should be some good size quarters, this one weighed in at 120# on the hoof and gave me 1/4s that ran about 18#

I'll have to give that some thought but I'll certainly give you a heads up when I cook some.

Now that is just being evil.  My smoker at the house has been neglected for a year or so now.  Gotta take care of that ASAP.

Well now, if he'd make some pepperoni out of that hog that would be great. But failing that, bacon would be more than satisfactory.

Not even. If there's anything better than bacon, it's a properly cooked slab of ribs.

No worries, I still have another pig. I'll take that one in at around 300# and get the works done up, cured and smoked hams, bacon, Arkansaw bacon, ribs, chops, tenderloin, steaks... nom nom nom

The last time my parents and I split a hog it was about $225 each and this was with locker bill included. We got hams, bacon and some brats. Rest was chops, roasts steaks and ground.

This in Iowa and there is a over 100 lockers in the state.

Arkansas bacon is pure wonderful but I have no idea how you cure it or the cut.

Arkansas bacon is shoulder meat cured and smoked and sliced like bacon. All the expected baconey goodness with less fat taking up valuable bacon space.  Slices of bacon the size of your hand with less fat and therefore less shrinkage.

Pigs, sadly, are not allowed in my neighborhood.  Any other livestock is OK though.

Too bad goats don't make bacon.

You can make bacon out of anything. I'm going to make bacon out deer loin when winter is done.
