I have had Blue and Gold Sausage that smelled like Boar meat before. I never noticed the flavor being off, but definitely will smell up a kitchen like ammonia.Yes and it had a little pissy taste to it and I tried to soak it out using lemon juice and something else that someone posted on here that worked maybe it was vinegar and lemon juice.
Soak drain soak drain etc etc and it remained pissy flavored.
I no longer keep any males as there are plenty of female pigs and my freezers are getting over full with it.
Another observation the big buck deer eating mostly green winter wheat have a terrible smell to the meat like arse holes but the bucks down south eating acorns are not smelly like wheat eaters.
I was told by a cattle farmer you pull the cattle off the wheat for some time before you send them to market or say butcher them because they do not taste as good.
I am learning things.
These female hogs on the wheat taste just fine. My wife prefers wild hog meat vs deer now.
I have heard that some Europeans prefer Boar meat, maybe that is why they are Euro Peans.
Wheat pasture or Silage will definitely taint the taste of beef, takes about 60-90 days of Corn to take care of that.
If you go to a sale barn you can smell the difference in what the cattle have been eating believe it or not. Wheat Pasture cattle just smell like green crap.
Silage cattle will have a rotten beer smell, besides the other smells that always come with livestock.
Grass cattle will always have cleaner meat, just a little tough till you add Corn to them.
A grass fed calf still sucking on his momma is the best, a 600 pounder is ideal.
