    Getting a hog butchered....what cuts?

    The FFA club at local school here raises hogs to show or sell for slaughter. So I'm buying the hog from them. Total for the hog & processing is going to come out to $1.00 a lb. Not a bad deal

    Getting a hog butchered....what cuts?

    While I'm thinking about it, what do you all pay per lb for a whole hog?

    Getting a hog butchered....what cuts?

    That does help. I'll give them a call & talk with them. I just didn't want to talk to them & be clueless about it all. Thanks!

    Getting a hog butchered....what cuts?

    In the next 2 weeks or so (gotta wait for it to finish getting fat) we are going to get a whole hog butchered. What all cuts do I need to ask for? I don't want to end up with just a ton of sausage & bacon. It's live weight is going to be around 250. Thanks for any help.

    Looking for a good mail order company

    the prices i listed were just for the "conversion kit". After I looked at it more it was the tank that was a major factor in the cost differences. Any idea now many kegs a 5 lb bottle should last for?

    Hello from Florida

    Welcome! Another Floridian here also. Although I will argue with Flash about the "some of the best fishing in the State of Florida" comment I think Destin will give North Port a run for it's money

    Charcoal baskets

    Looks good....I think I'll be working on something like this in the next couple of days. Do you happen to know the dimensions of this box?
