Had a small gilt that I did not get sold and she was the last one of that group so instead of feeding her longer I decided to butcher her. Purebred Berkshire! Kept the whole loins, ribs, shoulders and belly...ended up cutting belly up also due to lean and thin. Not surprising in the she was only around 200#

Shawn,

Looks like you had a full day getting that done, but it'll be some of the best eating you've ever had!  Great idea on packing the sausage meat like that, it'll be easy to do 5# batches like you said.

Also, I agree about the wife picture, mine would shoot me in the knees if I did that!

Points for the processing!
 
Third on the wife murdering me list! Safe to say your set on pork for a few days?:biggrin:
