I have the entire week of Thanksgiving off and would like to get a young hog for sausage without breaking the bank. Not intetesred in a trophy or a old tough hog, just a meat pig. I am in deep south TX so am mostly looking for San Antonio and south. Anybody got anything along those lines?

Don't be afraid of an old tough hog. After they go through the meat grinder they aren't so tough any more. Here's basically what Jessie Griffiths, author of The Hog Book, says about how a tough ol' boar should be used… https://www.thewildbooks.com/the-hog-book ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/HxPdM2p2/Pork-Meat-Cuts.jpg)

Check with local ag teachers. Probably a bit too early, but a lot of kids raising show pigs and you might find one that wants to get rid of an extra that isn't going to show.
