Potbelly pigs for meat ?

[Mike Fronczak]

I can across a guy giving 2 potbelly pigs away, they are 5 yrs old. I'm figuring they would be good for sausage & ground only. Has anybody tried this ?

Makes good bacon too.

You'll just get less meat than from a traditional pig.

Lol, they are definatly a far cry from lean!!!! You can render some awesome lard as well! They taste the same as the regular meat pigs, but MAN is there fat!

I would love to see pictures. Most searches online only bring up the anti eating potbelly stuff.

They are only fat if you over feed them, which is exactly what most people do. Taste like any other pig.
