I'm planning on doing a cochon de lait, tips needed

I think I'm going to give a whole hog a try for a football game this fall. The local sheriff's department has a big ole, hole hog sized rotisserie that I can use, but I need to figure out where I'm going to get the hog from. Should I just see what the butcher can get? Or should I go all redneck and head down to the Dequincy sale barn I buy something that someone trapped? What size should I be looking for? I figure that should be based on the number of people I'm feeding, but I'm also assuming over a certain weight they start to lose some tenderness. Thanks for the input.

I wanted to do one as well. I doubt it would fit in my smoker though.
Really want to get one of those boxes

I think Bergeron's in Port Allen will prepare one for you. An alternative is a smaller whole suckling pig for the visual and several boston butt roasts smoked for several hours. You get a lot more useable meat that way.
People usually don't know how to carve a whole pig and destroy it leaving a lot of waste.

don't dig your hole over or near a gas line, LaTech Frat party 1986, nothing bad happened but it was discovered during cleanup.

A true Cochon de lait is a suckling pig..
Not alot of choice on size is thats the way your going..
If you doing a pig roast... its not a cochon de lait.

Where are you located? I've got a couple of places around Sulphur that you can get one ordered or my buddy gets them from Eunice area if I remember right, they are already stuffed and seasoned and packaged ready to go. We have gotten various sizes up to 85 lbs from there with no issues.
