Real Canned Food and stuff.
Just made a deal with a cousin who's a butcher, for a beef and we are going to can it except for steaks, a few roasts, and what will go to burger.
The pig we bought will just be chops, ham steaks, cured bacon and hams.
Our kitchen and deck will be a busy place, when we start we will have one pressure cooker going inside and one outside.
So far in last week, ten days our cousin and another butcher have killed 250 hogs and they have four more semi loads of 150/160 head coming in in the upcoming weeks and they have standing orders for them.
A local entrepreneur bought a semi load of hogs thinking to make a quick buck and called our cousin and wanted them butchered, wanted to know when he could get them done.
Our cousin replied "August, the earliest " and then the whining began. But our cousin held firm.
From our conversation it sounds like there are a couple other "entrepreneurs " locally that are going to be in the same boat because they got a deal on South Dakota hogs that the trucking cost as much as the pigs.
upside for Grandson and I is we have plenty of spring bear bait.

I've got a couple of fat possums in the freezer as back-up supply. Feral Hogs have gone away. Seems I'm always left out or sucking the hind tet. (which is always dry)
Price of meat going up, might try selling them on flea bay or GB.3 -
Possum side and some creamed corn is some of the best other white meat going. Way it looks in the store I will be giving away more cold packed possum soon. 0
