Yes...like C&B said...if you muscle out your quarters you'll find it and know it when you see it.

Always a good idea to get rid of any you find because they do leave a nasty flavor and stink when cooked or ground up in the meat. Deer have them as well and I always hunt them down and get them out of the meat asap.

Unlike deer fat, pig fat adds a lot of good flavor to the meat just like it does on beef. This is why I prefer big boars to eat. Big boars almost always have a lot of fat on them, sows and small boars almost never have a good amount of fat and that is why if I want a pig to eat I will go after a big boar. I know you will hear from most people to just throw away big boars because they are nasty but IMO that is a wives tale. We have cooked up big boars for a lot of people that thought big boars were not good to eat and they all said it was the best pig they have ever ate. Over the years, we have probably ate over 50 boars over 200 pounds and have never had a bad tasting one, sure there might be some bad tasting ones out there but we have never experienced it and I believe they are very rare. Just because the outside smells bad it doesn't mean the meat is bad.
My ideal pig is a sow without piglets.Nursing can take a toll on their fat reserves. Not sure if some of these bigs are barren or what, but we have some sows that are solitary and only come to the feeder alone. They are always butterballs and great on the smoker. By the way, I take every effort to remove all nodes possible before they go on the pit.Last edited by RR 314; 12-24-2017, 08:44 AM.
