    How to process hog?

    Wife got her first pig this weekend with a crossbow so going to have Texastax process it for me.
    Normally we just cut out the straps and fry them in camp. So will have the straps cut into steaks but what should we do with the rest? Just want to see what others do with their hogs.

      Get Boston butts out of the front shoulder, whole loins, cut out the spare and country style ribs, and hams out of the hind quarters. I like to make a lot of sausage or use some pork fat to mix with venison for burgers.
      Fresh liver for breakfast [emoji12][emoji12]

                    I keep straps whole and will butterfly and grill
                    Ribs on bigger one are good... just not much meat
                    I leave shoulder whole and smoke for pulled pork
                    I don’t mess with hams

                    I kill enough I don’t mess with anything but the stuff I like

                      De-bone shoulders and hams. Grind with 20% added pork belly fat bought from the Vietnamese grocery. I will weigh out one pound quantities, then bag in HEB quart freezer bags, flattened out so there is almost no air inside. These frozen bags stack nicely in the freezer. Riverrat1 taught me that.

                      This will make yummy Italian meatballs, salsbury steaks, meat loaf, and chili if mixed 50/50 with ground venison.

                        We cut the backstrap, grind everything else to burger and sausage.

                          Leave in the woods, let the coyotes process it any way they want ?

                              I take only the hind quarters and straps.

                              Any of it is great as a roast or in a crockpot for Mexican pork tacos.

                              I usually mix the pig with venison and make homemade pan sausage.

                              Always great as smoked sausage, too.
