How Much Pork In A Pig?

Pigs are pretty efficient.  They aerate and fertilize your pasture, eat up food scraps and quickly grow to a weight that gives you a wide variety of meat products (born in the spring, reached 250+ lbs by the fall, more on that here).  From holiday meal hams, tenderloins and roasts... to ribs and pulled pork... to breakfast bacon and sausage... to soup seasoning meat, there's alot of meal choices there.  We went with the basics cuts, no chorizo or prosciutto this time.  I also heard of another local pork raiser who had some of the meat made into hot dogs.  No preservatives and you can control what exactly goes into them.  I think we might consider those next year.
So I wanted to show a visual break down of what we got.  A few things are missing because we have sold some already to friends and have already eaten two hams for Thanksgiving.  So prepare your eyes for a meat picture overload.

What we got from our two pigs-

14 lbs of Ribs (2 baby backs ribs, 4 spare ribs)

39 lbs of Boneless Hams (Smoked)

34 lbs Thick Cut Pork Chops (can you say delicious pork steaks, nothing like the thin store bought)

20 lbs of Fat Back.  And before you point a cholesterol prejudice finger... know that I believe fat has a place in a healthy diet, ESPECIALLY developing kid's diets.  Its not hydrogenated or processed.  With that said recipes, uses anyone?  All I know is split pea and other legume soup seasoning or is that just salt pork?

On a similar but more prestigious note, Leaf Lard.  Amazing cooking uses, small piece of info here.  Goodbye can of Crisco.

3.4 lbs Pork Tenderloins (smaller since we had pork chops pulled too and they share the same loin area)

26 lbs of Pork Butt (aka Boston Butt which is the upper shoulder).  For pulled pork.

 28 lbs of Bacon (natural and nitrate smoked).  Yes please, on the side along with our fresh eggs.

19 lbs Breakfast Sausage Patties.  Get them Biscuits ready.

19 lbs Italian Sausage

16 lbs Loin Roasts
12 lbs Rib Roasts (no pictures, sorry)
6 lbs Pork Shoulder (also no picture and not motivated to get my hands cold again to take one)

And finally....

37 lbs of feet, tail, hocks and neck bones.

Now don't you feel enlightened from looking at all the pork... or hungry.... or sick..... or appreciative of pigs?  I personally am more appreciative of pigs.... and a bit hungry. :)
