One of my Sister's butchered a 600# sow back in the day. It tasted great and the lard was awesome. Your feed to meat ratio may dwindle, but your good.
I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I raised hogs all my life.After 275 pounds or so,,your just growing fat,,so wasting feed.No bid deal in your case,cause your not going much later.Also as stated,,get all the fat trimmins.Especialy the Leaf Fat.Thats makes the best lard,,and cooking in lard is better for you than cooking in that crap Soybean oil.

I wouldn't definitely make the lard. The price of lard, like everything else, is through the roof now. It's perfect for greasing your cast iron, and is the best for frying in, and also makes the best pie dough.
Lard can also be used to make suet for the birds, and homemade soap.
If I ever raised a pig I'd look for one of the older varieties that produce a lot of leaf fat, just for the lard!

I call the fat you pull from inside the hog leaf lard. Not sure what else is considered leaf fat?

Never heard that term. I'm sure different areas have their own slang for alot of things. Its fun learning the different terms/slang.
