More bacon
« on: June 13, 2020, 09:22:50 AM »

With all that is going on the farmers and ranchers in Kansas are going bat xxxx crazy selling direct to the consumer. The BIG problem is getting the meat into a locker for processing. Most of them are booked into next year. My son bought a 400# hog for $60.00. He has a friend who can butcher and took him up on it. A 30 pack of beer and it is done. Here is the bacon he has asked me to cure. I have to say I have not seen a belly like this before but the end result should be good.

 That's a start to a good supply of bacon. Nice looking bellies.

It was almost square? Not sure how to describe it exactly. Of the many we have done they were 15-19” (top to bottom) and about 24-30+” long. Does that make any sense? I am not a butcher.
