The mid -sized sow that I cooked would have weighed 120 -150 pounds. The meat was not objectionable to taste, but was that tough & chewy that it could not be eaten. Don't really know what age the sow would have been, but I guess it would have had several litters.The trotter size pig that I will choose next time would be in the 30 to 50 pound range.
