All,

I got to give thanks to those that farm, especially pig farmers, today is your day of recognition in this household.

I had sausage with breakfast, bacon sandwich at noon, and am fixing to prepare some bone-in pork chops for supper. I guess the cold brings about an appetite.

D,
 
STOP! You are making me hungry! LOL Nothing like good pork sausage and eggs or bacon and eggs. The last time I was involved in fresh pork has been over 45 years ago. 5 of us slaughtered 3 hogs and divided up the meat. I had pork breakfasts every day before going to work. My wife hated it. (city girl)
 
My wife won't eat little piggies either!

She says it's bad for me, so she feeds me vegan snausage patties every morning. They're not that bad, I just don't want to know what they cost!

But this morning she slept in, I had microwave Jimmy Dean egg and sausage on a crescent bun. For frozen food they are pretty good!
 
Just finished boiling a ham hock that I will put in blackeye peas for supper. Also had sausage for breakfast. Growing up pork was about the only meat we had until squirrel season opened. We never killed a beef, but grew about 2-3 hogs every year and did out own butchering.
 
Boneless pork chops with Famous Daves rib rub on the grill with 57 sauce is my favorite. I will take that over a steak any day of the week.
 
You can buy the whole steer for about a buck a pound. The bonus is all the parts you cant buy in the store!
 
Raise your own beef cattle and find out just how much it costs per pound to just raise beef animals before the processors and retailers get involved.------------Loren
 
I don't raise pigs but do have some freezer beef growing.

Gonna have to get the wife or mother inlaw to shop elsewhere. Seems all the pork they get is old boar meat. Kids can't tell the difference, but I can sure smell the boar when the meat is cooking and worse when taking a bite, and some smells like the confinement it came out of. I guess being raised on a farm and Dad feeding them spoiled me.
 
Fats are a 1.10-1.20 and holsteins are .70. I'll have a few loads ready in March so hope they go up. Goats are up to 3 bucks a pound!
 
Do you have a specific group of peopele buying goat meat? About 50 years ago there was a local family that did BBQ goat meat sandwiches. You could smell it a long ways down wind. For $1 you could buy one from them. Later the family patriarch opened a small resturant specializing in BBQ goat. Had one sandwich. Good.
Unfortunately it was not a popular flavor compared to the fast foods showing up.
 
There is a buyer/processor not too far from me. He is certified in halal for a certain religious group. It's a smaller family run business but the ship all over the midwest.
 
My rural area is close to the Dallas Metroplex and we are being invaded......but if you are selling, it's a seller's market.....for us old time lifers, it's ensure that your taxing authority takes care of the elderly with tax ceilings on old buildings and such. Any-hew, Boer is the brand and seems like over half the new neighbors have goats. I do see some ads on Craig's list Farm and Garden where some folks process them and cook them up whole, offering them for sale.

I started with goats as I couldn't afford cattle nor what it takes to raise them. Nubian was my brand and a lot of work and feed for very little payback.......but they satisfied the "Farm" qualification for the Ad-Valorem tax discount so it wasn't all bad.
 
(quoted from post at 16:59:51 01/13/20) Yes thank you pork and chicken farmers. You provide us with meat for less than $2 a pound. Now if only we could get the beef industry to do the same thing.

Quit raising hogs in the 90's but on the chicken side your welcome, only have 65 beef cows but have 15 semi loads of chickens shipping out today and tomorrow.

Just finished up morning chores, time for some bacon and eggs along with biscuits and sausage gravy.
 
Bought a couple pounds of bacon at a bargain price of $2.00 a pound from our local locker and it was just as you said. I wasn't raised on a farm but that stuff smelled so bad cooking, I don't know how your family couldn't tell.
