| | | I last processed a pot-bellied pig about 5 years ago. | The only thing I would suggest is to make sure and trim as much fat out as possible. These pigs are a lot fatter than the normal pig. | I would suggest using seasoning that you usually use when you make normal pork sausage. | Also, my slaughter man told me that a 200 to 300 lb. Live weight pot bellied pig has a very thick hide, so make sure and skin the hog as close as possible to the meat. | And I found that it's next to impossible to cure the belly (for bacon). It is usually only about 1 inch thick at its thickest. | | Back to Pork FAQ's |
