grannys gone and done it

good deal ! Not a job I would tackle

but the meat is so much tastier and better, and I can cut stuff to the desired thickness. Chickens will be happy as they are getting all the fat trimmings. Should help in the cold and some of the silly one's still moulting.

Price isn't bad either, Live weight of the pigs is around 300 pounds. plus everything he does and our cost for the pig is $225.00

that is a great price. half a pig would go for that here. isnt the trimmings bacon grease ?

not unless you cure and smoke it. other wise just raw fat. It you take the fat and render (cook) it down until it's just liquid, then strain and let it cool you have lard. I will do "leaf" lard because you can never have to much of that. I have enough regular lard from the last time.

Leaf Lard is the fat from inside the pig. It is a much finer and more "pure" fat. Excellent for pie crusts and any other home baking you do.

Quote: I can't find leaf lard down here. You would think with all the hispanics down here I would be able to find it. Maybe they are keeping it all!
