whole hog houston

skippyp · #1 07-18-2005, 09:06 PM

Anyone have a source for hogs in the houston area? I've heard out brookshire way there are some farms. I was hoping to find something already done up and all I have to do is prep and smoke. Something fairly small.

of course, I don't know the rule of thumb on #uncooked weight hog to #of people served- though I heard there was one.

There is a butcher up in Spring that can fix you up ... but I fogot his name. Let me make a phone call tomorrow and see if I can hook you up.

You might send me a pm and remind me .... I forgets sometimes.

The Holy Cow Cookers get one each year during the BBQ Cookoff. You might go to the web site http://www.holycowcookers.com/ and contact Randy Pauly. He can tell you where they come from. While there look at the Top 5 Food Network pics. I made and furnished all goat products for that.

The meat market in Spring is Fisher's. I should have the number around somewhere, will post if I find it. Don't know if you can just drop in and get one, I reserved mine.

I bought a 50# pig last year, whole, scraped, and ready to cook. Cost around $1.30 per pound as I recall. Along with sides, fed about 70 men, women, and children.

Ask Bobby Blankenship. He does a hog at the Rodeo every year too.

It's Fisher Ham and Meat, 5023 Spring Cypress, (281) 376-1644

Thanks for the welcome; however, I've actually been around as Steve, but have switched several computers, offices, emails and couldn't remember any passwords. It was late, I was tired, so I made a new me.
