High Plains Outdoors: Wild Hog Meat In High Demand

Luke Clayton
Hogs ready for processing at Wild Boar Meats in Hubbard, Texas.

This week, Luke visits with Will Herring, owner of Wild Boar Meats in Hubbard, Texas and discusses putting wild hog meat to good use. Herring's processing plant buys thousands of wild hogs each year and puts the meat to good use in the form of pet food.

The demand for wild hogs is so great that the plant is currently expanding so that more hogs can be utilized.

Plans are for the construction of an additional plant to open later this year that will process wild pork to sell for human consumption. It's great to see all this wild pork being put to good use, rather than left out in the fields and woods to fatten coyotes.

Outdoors writer, radio host and book author Luke Clayton has been addicted to everything outdoors related since his childhood when he grew up hunting and fishing in rural northeast Texas. Luke pens a weekly newspaper column that appears in over thirty newspapers.
