Cow and Hog


I've posted this one before, which is why it isn't exactly the Pic'o'Day. Here are the questions/reason why I'm posting it again.

Oh, it's a hog skull all right. The hogs we've got come from a batch which resulted in cross-breeding between domestic: Durock (Wikipedia link) and Poland-China Spot and Baja Jorja Wild. They've got much longer snouts than domestic hogs do as a consequence. They're also noticeably less docile than domestic hogs. More significantly, they make a bigger ham than wild so things are fairly balanced there, and they are leaner than domestic.

And (if we do say so ourselves) very tasty.
