When the Pig Man called last month to ask us if we want half a pig delivered on the day the pig delivery boy come by our neighborhood, we said yes. Luckily Gedas was coming for e visit, so we were planning on throwing a party anyway--half hogs weigh between 66 and 110 lbs., and by the time the deliver truck got to our house the smallest one the had left was 90 lbs; we didn't expect it to fit in our freezer, even though we have a separate stand alone one. Also, I'd never butchered anything larger than a chicken before, so here's how it went.
