Assorted bits ready for trimming/cleaning. |
Turns out pig butchery is pretty easy. I was surprised too. Best part as far as I'm concerned is there are no feathers. The meat to plucking time ratio is optimal. The sheer volume can be a bit of an issue, but I have always said having enough of a good thing to be worried about having "too much" is the kind of problem I like to have. More photos after the break.

Lots of beautiful white fat everywhere. File this under the benefits of a "lard hog". |

This cut runs all the way from a front shoulder and neck back along the side. The only bones the whole way are from the shoulder. |

I can't even remember what this is, but you can see how clear the separation between fat and flesh is. A few passes with the knife and you're working with "lean" pork if you, you know, wanted that. |

Front shoulder #2 separated from the rest of the side. Pulled pork for miles right there. |
Now im hungry for some bbq
