I have my doubts.
First, the picture looks fishy. I don't think it was photoshopped; I think the kid is actually several feet behind the hog, making the hog appear to be much larger than it is.
And in reading the story, statements such as this make me wonder how accurate the "documentation" is: "It was hauled on a truck to the Clay County Farmers Exchange in Lineville, where Jeff Kinder said they used his scale, which was recently calibrated, to weigh the hog. Kinder, who didn't witness the weigh-in, said he was baffled to hear the reported weight of 1,051 pounds because his scale—an old, manual style with sliding weights—only measures to the nearest 10. "
Add in the fact that the carcass has "conveniently" been ground up, and there are just to many "things that make you go Hmmmm..." in this story for my tastes.
