So I’ve been thinning out the hogs at my place and I’ll sometimes take the back straps but I have been wanting to take a good 150# sow to be processed but honestly I don’t want to go through the trouble of quartering it. Does anyone know of a reputable processor close to Henderson or Nac that will take a whole hog?

I'm not in your area, but the processors around here wanted something like $80 a few years ago to skin and process a hog plus a per pound charge. I decided it was worth it to do it myself. Lately though, I've simplified things. This has been shown before, but it's the method I've been using for a year or two. It's pretty fast and easy. If I'm going to put the leg quarters on a smoker I'll leave the bone in. If I plan to grind it or use it for stew or such then I'll take the bones out when I get back to my vehicle. https://youtu.be/m-BmX-3Qqa4?t=29

Yeah the way I’ve been cleaning them is much more of a pain than that. I’ll give it a try this week. Thanks for the help.

A couple of other tips that I've discovered to make things just a little bit easier: I carry a small day pack in my vehicle which I take with me to a downed hog. In it I carry the following items. I'm listing most of my items, although some are truly obvious. 1) My knife — Yeah, this is pretty obvious 2) Nitrile Gloves — I always wear these when I've handling raw hog meat 3) 4 Gallon plastic bags (waste basket size) — I slip the leg quarters (& backstraps) into these while I carry them back to the vehicle so that I don't rub blood all over my pants. (The wife appreciates this!) 4) Some short pieces of rope — I tie the leg quarters to the ends of rope and loop them over my neck to make them easier to carry. I use a headlight to make it easier to cut up a hog in the dark. These hot summer days I'm not seeing many in daylight. I also bring my thermal hand held monocular with me. It helps me find the hogs, plus it helps me find my way back to my vehicle on dark nights!
