Had a pig shoulder fall off the hook and roll across the walk-in cooler last Tuesday

I was pulling a 90-pound shoulder for a Saturday order, got the hook under the bone, and somehow it slipped right off and hit the floor with a thud. Then of course it starts rolling like a runaway tire across the cooler, bumping into bins and a bucket of trim. I chased it for a good 10 feet before I caught it near the drain. Had to hose it off and trim away the dirty spots. Boss walked in right as I was wrestling it back onto the hook and just shook his head. Anyone else ever lose a piece of meat to the cooler floor like that?

You sure it was 90 and not a lighter cut? Those shoulders don't just roll like that unless it's more fat than bone.

Wasn't it more of a 100-pound shoulder you were dealing with?
