How about a skinning rack and a person from the team start skinning after the judges make there rounds in addition to weigh in and a staging area or here is a novel idea how about go to the high school local ag mechanics and sub out a design for a 40 ft sliding (removeable hook as to bring them back to the front of the line for the next hog) and rack with tables type areas system on two sides with skinners(people) in the middle assembly type set up working the hog from end to the other, one guy pulling the clothes(skin back), slide it down next guy cutting out the straps,sliding it down to the last guys with sawzaws cutting the hams off.and a trailer parked at the end for the remains..,,,,,,and used one years payout money to contract the skinning trailer and the money will go to another good benefit.I think with all the experienced people here the design could come together quickly.

That's what I was saying in my post on the first page, make an assembly line about 7-8 foot tall and then have a winch on one end to lift the hog up, then hang it by 1 or both leg and work them down the line. you can find the rolling hooks pretty easy and all that is needed after that is just flat bar for your rail. If you got REAL fancy you could have it where the hog can be rolled over the trailer then cut the ribcage front par of the body off as the last step and then all that is on the hook is the last ham.
