What to do with old boars?

farmboy you must not have been around hogs i have never seen one that could be banded.. whats needs to be done is casturate and then feed them for about two months or lil longer and grind into sausage that taste and smell will go away. will make good sausage. have done this before with all boars we ever had.

There's a couple o' guys up here that do that. They trap wild boar, castrate 'em (that's where someone should have the video camera rolling!), grain them for about a month or so, then make them into sausage.

I haven't tasted it, but I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything, either. I'll stick to our domestic pigs...mmmm, delicious and tender! Especially the jowls!

I don't know about older boar hogs, but I love wild pigs if they are smaller. Did I mention that I LOVE wild hog???

I wish they were wild up here like they are in the south.

Be carefull what you wish for. They wreck havoc on native environments.

We used to just put loop over there noses and tie up to post then tie off one hind leg above the hock and cut them standing up. disenfect and turn loose. we still do them standing up but use a chute with cinch under them so can't lay down.

I've seen it done more than once. They take a come along, get the loop around their snout, behind the teeth and winch them up to the bumper of a pickup. While the hog is fighting the front end, they cut the back end.

Fed out a couple of months, they taste just fine.

If you want to get rid of them and have somewhere to send them to be butchered for your buyer - check with raw-feeding dog ppl - you'd get a heck of a better price than just a few cents on the pound, but most of these are not prepared for a couple of hundred #s of meat - so finding several [like a group or buying co-op] or a raw feeding kennel would be the way to go.

I'm interested in anybody in south GA who has still born, injured, culled etc. lifestock babies or adults - age doesn't matter, nor what breed [or fowl] - as long as it is not dead from disease, and size manageable to handle for one person and the price is reasonable or free. Email me privately if you ever have anything along that line. There are raw feeding dog owners and breeders all over the US.
