night bell tex procceces all their hogs at there plant [frontier meats ] and they package it for retail and over seas . they sell it here for resturants and sausage making joints when i went to work for texas best smokehouse we made sausage out of the hams . and it is fda inspected. i used to donate plenty to the food banks just like prossed deer no fda inspt. needed on most places . southern game is who used to be in san antonio but they went under when the overseas market crashed i guess divine took over there bizz, souther had a bunch of buy stations up here . and i would emagine divine has as well i think just up north of me is one . compatition keeps the prices up it's a good thing .
Southern wild game was located in divine texas down from san antone, sorry about the confusion i posted, there have been 2 or 3 more places over the years in the hill country but they never got as big as they have been in the last 10 years. I googled wild boar meat for sale in texas and its higher than a hippies kite for sure, I look all of the time or used and have never seen wild hog meat for sale from texas in a store, or a smokehouse, i have never figured it out to tell the truth, with all of these hog hunting shows u would think some wild hog processor would place a infocomerical or website to order florida or texas wild boar just like caught on this episode shipped to your door??? I have always thought they, wild hog meat processors would find a way to buy the hogs in texas and have them usda inspected at an approved facility and have wholesale and retail outlet, definetly a niche market not being served, the problem with the wild hog meat is prob the tame hog and cattle meat processors, they dont want a wild hog being slaughtered in the same facility as a feedlot hog or feedlot steer to avoid some kind of outbreak fo diease, hogs one of these days are going to cause a huge outbreak of something horrible i predict, too dry and too many sick hogs will prob kill some soccer mom and her kids in Houston or Dal and they will shut down hog buying stations, so far nothing has happened but its out there for sure, crazy all of the hogs that just get shot and left to rot due to no market for them or a low price below break even, we used to sell a 20 foot trailer load of them a month at times when the money was enuff to feed them for a month and worm them and haul up to devine wild games location. None of the local places down here in one of the most hog eatten up countys will process wild hogs right now even this early as they are full, and they close up at end of Dec usually, so many hogs get shot and rot big time or end up being dumped on the side of the road or in a creek....
