It’s been at least 20 years since I fooled with a big hog and that one had been in the pen on feed for 6 months or so. 70% might be stretching it a bit since their hides are so thick.
The best is when you catch a sow with a bunch of pigs about the size of a football. Put ‘em on cow’s milk that I get from the dairy down the road. Start adding cracked corn to the milk and keep them on it a couple of weeks to a month.
Skin ‘em and dress ‘em like squirrels. Then smoke ‘em whole on the smoker. (Low & slow). You can’t beat it.
