somebody shut me the fark up.
Thought you guys might enjoy seeing a few pics of our whole hog in progress. These pics were from the prep today. Randy injected at about 10:30a. Pulled the hog out of the ice at 6 to prep for the cooker. The zip saw is to cut the rips into spares and baby backs. The main reason is so that the bones have some flex in them so the meat has room to move as it cooks. Overkill? Maybe, but I get to use my zip saw on MEAT!!!! Its about the only use I've found for a zip saw anyway. :eusa_clap
This year we are using a Duroc hog. Every other year we've used the garden variety "pink pig". We'll see if the Duroc hype is worth it. Our hog was donated by Stein and Stewart Genetics, a producer of Duroc breeding stock. Stewart won Grand Champion Gilt and Boar at the World Pork Expo here this week.
