I don't know, this is the smallest ones we have taken, they went to the processor and because they are so small I expect the meat to be very good, more steak and less sausage with these. My guess will be about 20-30 pounds of meat each but it may be more or less depending on how much fat there is. The last sow was very fatty and we just got her back so we haven't sampled the meat yet, she was about 50 pounds of meat.
I didn't expect to get two today, but they all stopped about 20 yards from where I dropped the first one so I took the second. I opened the back door and saw them digging in the back of the property under an oak tree, they go for the acorns. I really enjoy the .17HMR, so accurate and easy to shoot, I don't regret not having a .22 any longer, this thing does a great job.
