i didn't think hogs ate scallops.
 looks real nice.
 i sent this link to a guy at work who is doing a few deer loins and a few ham roasts for me this weekend.
 same thing, a 40lbs doe commited suicide, but it tried to eat soy beans in front of a muzzy. 4-blade.

LOL, I did feed the hog about a bushel of bunker, and many tuna heads, he loved it. |  |  |

Very impressive, when we butcher we usually do about 6 hogs and 2 beef when the  whole crew is around .we skin our hogs also ,alot quicker and easier.  unfortunately we hire someone to do the smoking and sausage making for us and it turns out fine . Alot more pride in those fine looking hams and bacons of yours tho. i agree on the lard  , makes some awesome pastry crusts too.
 anyone care to share that cracklin/cornbread recipe ? sounds awesome.
Cornbread 1 Cup sifted all-purpose flour; 1/4 Cup sugar; 4 tsp baking powder; 1 Cup yellow cornmeal; 2 eggs; 1 Cup milk; ¾ cup of lard ¼ cup of crunched cracklins. Combine ingredients. Do not over mix.  Bake at 425 F for 20-25 min. in greased cast iron skillet. |  |  |

This is a really great post.  What else did you feed your hog besides tuna heads? 
 Pat, as usual, you are right.... |  |  |
