I usually get baby backs in the 2 pound range. This weekend every rack in the case were whoppers. The ones I picked out were 3-1/2 pounds each. These bones tell the real story.
 
Long and clean bones guess someone enjoyed the taste to!!
 
does that mean there will be a new "tool" available soon?
 
Steroids!:-D Maybe they culled the herd a little bit and some of the older Mommy's and Daddy's got a one way trip on the livestock trailer.:wink: Looks like a good thing to me though:lol:
 
How was the meat? Meaning did those come from an old pig?

The meat was really good, naturally they had more surface fat. I scraped some that was under the membrane, and trimmed some of the thicker fat on the outside of the rack.

As far as being an old pig, processors usually slaughter around 6 months old, and 8 to 10 months is the top end. (at that body weight they are eating so much it's just not profitable to keep them any longer). It's kind of a standing joke with the guys I know that buy whole or half hogs every year.... Sometimes the meat is in their freezer longer than it was on the ground. Heheee.
