Pot Belly Pigs

[HLorfing]

Does anyone know if pot belly pigs are okay to eat?

They are edible but not as good as other pigs/hogs we are used to. Less meat per pound and less quality IMHO.
They do have a place along with all of Gods other created critters
Right next to the mashed taters:)
Here is something that may help

I concur, the father-in-law had one, when it was butchered alot of fat and almost no meat.

Better then a zero, but if you are feeding it, might not be worth it.

Well, if you are raising rabbits that would supply the needed fat that rabbits do not have.

All I am seeing is Pot Belly Pigs have excess amount of fat-to-lean ratio.

Come on guys, survivalists, think OUTSIDE THE BOX!!!

Tallow Blend Soap

44 oz. tallow
20 oz. olive oil
20 oz. coconut oil
12 oz. lye crystals
32 oz. cold water
Temps 110-115

If I were rendering tallow from scratch again like I used to, this would be my recipe of choice. You can make soap with straight tallow or a blend of tallow and lard, but for the best of all worlds, adding coconut for sudsing and olive for its mildness does a lot for a tallow soap. If you want your bars a bit softer for cutting or are going to be using a fragrance oil with unpredictable results, you can increase the water by two ounces.

SOAP!!! :) :) :)

There is no such thing as unneeded lemons, just unprepared lemonade. :)

Outside the box my friends.
