Barr or Barrow
« on: August 07, 2007, 02:59:07 PM »
While cutting (castrating) some wild boars in our club we got in to a debate whether a cut hog is a "Barr" or a "Barrow". Any input would be appreciated.

P.S. For those of you who use feeders, keep them going throughout the summer.

The correct name for a castrated hog is "Barrow".  In many locals Barrow has been shortened to Bar or Barr.  Here in East Texas if you used the term Barrow, refering to a hog, people would probably think you were talking about a hog for loan.  :)
