That's alot of hog's... I got to where I am just quartering them there as they lay. Throw the leg quarters in the cooler and go & don't forget the back strap. I know that the tender loin is one of the best parts, but I'd rather not have to gut the hog. I guess I'm getting old/lazy. Sure does save time and sharp knives....

Its fun youll love it!

Do you ever use a box cutter and skin your hogs in strips? heres what I did to those in the pics

Hang by nose on tractor boom

cut all the way around neck through the fat to meat

start center of spine cut straight down all the way to the tail and do this in 2 or 3 inch strips till hide is gone make cuts deep enough to get to meat....only thing is you get no bacon!

only way I know to skin one....G-pa has a boiling pot but ive never seen it used....

Is there a better way?
