Not to pick on you Buzzard but your numbers are misleading. You should shoot for 1/4 lb per person cooked weight, which is 62.5 lbs cooked. If you figure roughly 30% loss during cooking you get to the 80 lbs precooked.Figure 1/4 pound per person and you're good to go. Like Noboundaries said, around 80 pounds precooked.
There will be some that get more than 1/4 pound, but there will also be a lot of little old ladies there and some folks that don't eat meat or pork, you'll be good.

I know you knew that I just wanted to make sure the OP was following the logic.
I had already downed half a pot of coffee by then so I was good to go!there's always someone who's had enough coffee!

I second that ! Big Brother always looking out for little brother, kind of hard to not want to be a part of this SMF. No one is quick to jump all over anyone if the morning Coffee hasn't started working yet.That's why I love this forum, there's always someone who's had enough coffee! Yep, I did the math, but didn't mention the numbers. Good catch!
Oh, I also meant to say this, that's gonna be a lot of shredding!
