My son came up with the real statistic.... 21 hogs and a conservative estimate of 100 pounds each, "we killed a ton of pigs"!

We have been processing pigs all week, will complete the project on Saturday. We make sure everyone in the group has pork. Between my son and I we took 7 hogs, no way we can use that many over the next year so we will share the bounty. Is it everyone takes their own, no we pile it up and everyone shares the bounty.

There is not any lard in wild pigs, what we have found is you can't beat the breakfast sausage and Italion sausage, we keep a couple hams and shoulders for smoking on the grill and grind the rest. Nothing goes to waste.

Looks like we are going to grind over 250 pounds of pork on Saturday!


When science meets tradition there will be sparks.....
