Getting to try our home raised duroc pork. Had some side pork this morning after chores. Going to cook some chops for supper. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/NG74B2Vc/20240329-102242.jpg) Good color. Good marbling. Flavor is out of this world. No comparison at all. Currently taking orders.....
I am MAGA.

Dang bruh,

Dang bruh,
Wish I lived nearby, I'd get me some of that. We just took 3 more in to get butchered. That will make 6 we have killed. Got 5 good ones left. 4 we might just sausage and 4 weaners. We messed up and didn't get the side pork sliced....but luckily I have a bacon knife.

Do y'all scald and butcher them in house? No. We hire it done. No one knows what happened to grandpas scalding pot. Nearly everything up here is skinned. I want to try scalding and doing some whole hog cooks. I am curious how the red pigs look scraped and cooked. I suppose the skin is just darker on the cooked pig? Would that turn someone off?

I was wondering the same thing, I've never raised hogs or scalded anything other than my nuts in the shower. That pork is beautiful.

I grew up doing ALL THAT !! I don't miss it one bit. After butchering, any animal, game, I just cannot eat any for a week ot two !!

If you have any colonies close by, you can get any weight you desire scalded and ready for the smoker for a little cash and a handle or 2 of Jim Beam. At least in SD anyways. My group of friends does a 120lb whole hog every year. Plus, you can get their buns which are baked with duck fat.

Fresh pork on a charcoal grill is awesome. Including sausage.

We've had a small herd of KuneKunes for a couple years...butchered three last spring ourselves. Tremendous flavor but the various parts are a bit small and buried in fat. We should probably transition to real pigs like that duroc or IPPs. Those duroc chops are probably quadruple the section area of ours.
Kune's yield a lot of lard, and we use that for EVERYTHING.
The pigs are a personable lot, and they get along well with our herd of chickens: they share a shed. I presume there are less-civil pigs afoot but we've not had them. Will adapt when needed; for now our elevated nest cubbies are working fine.
The pigs are useful this time of year for rototilling parts of the yard. We walk them daily into a portable electric fenced pen and they tear it up. They're easily the most entertaining livestock I've been around, but that's not saying alot.

Got a smoke stack, table, and lifting rail to go yet but our new scalding tank will be done shortly. Got a 350 pounder to put in it in a couple or three weeks. Skinning wastes too much fat. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/nr56nRSQ/Screenshot_20240329_125007_Signal.jpg)
