Am I the only one who had a whole hog shoulder that just would not break down right?

I had this Berkshire hog shoulder yesterday that was supposed to be a simple break for sausage. The seam fat was like glue, man. I spent a solid 45 minutes just trying to get a clean separation of the picnic from the butt, when it normally takes me maybe 15. My knife kept catching in this weird, gristly connective tissue. I finally got it done, but my whole prep schedule was shot. Has anyone else run into a cut that just fights you for no clear reason?

Feel your pain, that sounds brutal.

That "fights you for no clear reason" thing happens with pressure washing jobs too, some surfaces just won't cooperate.

Honestly, I read that some surfaces have a weird coating that fights the water.
