Pat,

When eating the small hogs (25-40#) Texas BBQ style, are the females better tasting, or are the males just as good before they become testosterone-filled beasts?

I agree with Pat. Our butchers told us that a lot of it depends on the shot. Clean shots, good meat. Poor shots bring adrenaline into play.

Rusto, I hope you enjoy your trip down here.
