Another post from my butchering of my sons show pig.

Bacon.. Use the cure calculator from Digging dog on the forum. Cure for 14 days then smoke. Warm smoked and used cob pellets in my MES.


Fried up it tastes great , even the fat. I guess this is what you get feeding a high fat diet to get the show look.

Only one pic of the CB, I had a slicer issue. Well the slicer had a issue with me. I sliced my finger.

 
That looks top notch Adam, I bet it's awesome tasting. How long of a smoke?

Thanks Dan. It tastes great. Its way fatty thou.

The loins on the other hand is perfect.
 
You know what ? You should be totally proud of all that you did here. I mean the whole thing from start to finish .
Amazing . From the knowledge to the hard work , family time , to table fare that you just can't buy .
Rocked it out bud ,,,
 
Well, the fat is where the flavor is anyways, so you're good to go.

Yup its tasty.

Thanks. With having a beef farm it was kinda easy to raise a pig. But yes, homegrown is the way to go. I mean the color of the meat is red compared to pink like store bought.


I really appericate the great comment.
 
Yessir! Nicely done.Slicer safety first...:oops:

Thanks. I have sliced 100's of pounds of meat through this slicer, it finally got me.
 
That's a nice looking batch of bacon Adam. Congratulations on going from raised to butchered. I don't think I could do the butchering - after a few months the pig would be more like a family pet.

Point for sure.

Thanks alot Bear. Atleast the fat on the bacon cooks up nice.
 
no wonder it's red and not pink... your blood was all over it from cutting your finger... :eek:

all joking aside... that looks great Adam ...
 
I agree. There's nothing like home grown. We're eating a pig right now that my buddy raised--fantastic flavor.
And yeah, that's too much fat on the bacon for me too, but think of all the great bacon grease that you'll have. MMMMMM.
The back bacon looks really great.
As for the slicer getting you, well........
sometimes you're the slicer, sometimes you're the meat. LOL

Maybe that's the key? You raise one, your buddy (or son) raises another. Then you swap pigs at harvest time.
CFarmer, looks fantastic, as does the ham. I completely understand about the slicer. Mine got me as soon as I got it home and was giving it a good cleaning. One half-second of inattention is all it takes...
 
Thanks everyone. Althou its fatty it tastes great. Shrinks up alot cause of the fat.

Yes, I am saving all the bacon grease.
