I've never got any bacon off of a wild hog, they aren't fat enough. On domestic hogs it depends on the breed of hog.

velocity is like a new car, always losing value.
BC is like diamonds, holding value forever.

Aloha Blaser,

Is that dressed weight or on the hoof?

If the pig is healthy and fat a pig that size should yield 20-30# at least possibly more.

Here's some boar bacon right out of the smoker cooling down before i chilled and sliced it up.

Trust me its worth it LOL!!!

Here's some bacon strips I made

And the almost finished product LOL!!!

These are strips I made from the ham of the hog and cured them just like I do my bacon. I like to experiment and see how things turn out. I liked it a lot and do it from time to time if we get a nice fat hog.

Aloha,

Dom
