re: Do you process your own hogs?

I do. I got sick of having to bring the meat to the butcher so I bought a LEM #32 grinder. Its fantastic. Now I just grind my own wild hog / deer meat, have probably 20 gallons in the freezer right now. Works really well if you mix it w/ ground boston butt or cheap ground meat you can get a the grocery store. If I was going to buy another grinder I would look at a cabelas meat grinder - I think those have a lifetime guarantee. LEM grinders are only warrented for 3 years I believe.
