With little to compare to, I am gonna guess he is close to the tripod stand and use the little hog in the pic to compare although they can be quite a ways different distance from the camera...
High end... 150-200 possibly 225... If you get him in other pics later, please show us... Brent |

Doesn't look real heavy through the shoulders and neck, and the legs look long which would tend to indicate a youngish hog. My guess is about 150-175, it's tough to tell from the pic.

I'm not sure the math I used is completely correct but it's close........
If you take the weight of that hog as X and then subtract 3/5X to represent the head, guts & skin you come up with 2/5X. To that you add 1/12 Y to represent rub, sauce and smoke. You then adjust the equasion for time and heat factors, say 8 hours @ 200-250 degrees, and then devide that sum by 40 people. Using this simple math I come up with ZERO for the weight of that hog.................... |

You may be more near correct on the time element but as to the number of people: have you seen my brother in law eat?

Looking close I see a, possibly, cropped tail and a large male would have a sack o' bits protruding "aft" so I am leaning towards it being an escapee from a farm or more likely an intentionally released "barr", short for barrow hog.
bswiv, what say you? Brent |

If my 19 year old son "Junior" is also invited along with bswiv's BIL... Subtract 30 folks...
Junior ate this bugger himself and it was at least 10 pounds of meat... Brent |

The hog on the right is a good trim hog, flat belly and not carrying much backfat. He is about the size of a normal show pig...about 200 pounds.

Compared to the hogs I have in the pen, I would say around 150 -175, and that would be on the high side.
I do not think the tail is cropped, because I have one of these cameras and it does not take very fine detail. I think the tail is just in a position that it can not be seen in the photo. But you could be right... It definitely does look like a barrow, but again, it could be a cold night and the camera angle is not showing the goods.
