Thread: Torn up porker, would you eat?

Got a nice pig on Friday, looked fine inside but it was a bit dark to have a decent look. At some point I’m guessing he’s had dogs on him, he had a old torn ear and scars and 1 or 2 semi old wounds that Were not 100% healed. He’s all chopped up ready to go to the butchers but given the description above, would you eat him? He was a decent size and it’s a good bit of meat that all looks fine. We butchered around the old wounds and scars just to be safe .

sounds fine,let your butcher decide...thats his livelyhood and he will know better than any of us reading discrition from computor.

Were any of the wounds infected ? What did he look like skinned, fat or thin ?

Took it to the butcher, both the newer wounds were a bit scabby, half healed. Pig was in good condition just looked like he’s had some dogs on him a few times. I’m fairly new to pigs so haven’t seen any that have been roughed up.
