Equal opportunities III: a little levity

[Anonymous]

Figure it's time to bring a little fun to the equal opportunities group. Allow me to introduce this coming 9 month old sow of unknown lineage. I think she has the right humps and rumps in the right places. She is extremely feed efficient. Only fed slops and 4 lbs of grain a day up until the last 30 days where she got about 14 lbs and slops to finish her Up. Those are 2x6's in the background. Except the one 2x4.
Pick her apart because come Monday the butcher will be :mrgreen:

Living in the shade she didn't have to worry about sunburn

A little juicy... just like I like 'em. :cowboy:

 

[Jogeephus]

She looks good.

 

[highgrit]

Looks like she needs a bath.

:lol: Go read the first few pages of the original equal opportunity thread. Then you'll understand. ;-) My pig is a spot bred back landrace FWIW.

I think you will have some mighty fine eating. Should have enough size and fat to have good flavor. One of those fresh jowls in the skillet would make me smile like a kid at Christmas.

Oh not to worry. I read it all over the last couple of days. An all star cast, 2 years in the making--now showing in a section near you.

There are certainly some interesting comments--as well as some apt analogies that could go along with 'em.

I think this baldy might make certified angus. :mrgreen:

For market she's got good amount of fat, but weak in her hams. For home eating some more fat is needed....cause I love honey cured pork fat! :mrgreen:
I'll guess 225-230 pounds, and around 110-115 hanging, but it's hard to tell.

She'll will get a good washin this morning on the trailer. I'm putting her live weight about 320.

I think she will weigh a bit more than you think. A picture taken that close and aimed down can be deceiving. The ham is low on my list of favorites but she still has plenty. She will make a tasty dweller in the freezer and make a person look forward to raising another,

I see 60 lbs of hams on that girl. Ok, maybe 58 cause Hook will probably cut the feet off to pickle.

She weighed 342 on the scales this morning

The closest I've come to home raised hog is blue and gold sausage from FFA- always liked it.
Can you come out much ahead of store bought? Or is it the flavor?

We used to feed our own beef, now we buy a fat calf from the feedlot and have it butchered. Probably money ahead in feed and no risk of death loss- unless I get in a wreck on the way from point a to point b.

Cost me more to raise one than I can buy it for usually. I didn't track this one and she was probably less. Maybe break even but much better fresh flavor
