Wild Boar Yield
-
Anyone have a good measurement for how much meat do you typically get off of a wild boar? Last year I got roughly 15% meat from their initial weight but the hunters forgot to actually weigh all of the hogs when they were killed so we went off an estimate. I’m trying to gauge how much fat I need for the butchering day.
Favorite recipes or types of sausage appreciated as well! Had great luck with brats, kielbasa, Italian, and merguez so far.

Cera Nieto never done wild boar, however i believe most yields are 60% of hanging weight.

Cera Nieto yeah 15% is pretty low. twilliams is correct, you should be looking around the 60 - 65% range. I know feral hogs and their like can be a bit leaner, so take that into account for your fat % . If you got 15% I would be scratching my head.

depending on the bone structure you can loose an average of 32 percent 0f the weight not counting head hooves and hide

Hm maybe the estimates were totally off. They only bring back the quarters if that makes any difference? This year we will be processing 6 hogs, weighing 115, 112, 105, 84, 72, and 48 (536 total).
