Don't let those pigs get too fat if you wanna butcher, they're mixed with lard pig breeds |

Most folks don’t know the difference. Some of these heritage breeds are more of a novelty and make terrible carcasses. They generally take longer to finish. Here is a pic of a kune kune ham we butchered the other day. Trimmed about 70% of the weight off that thing. |

Lard was about as important as meat way back in the day |

I cringed and continue to cringe this year because their family didn’t figure it out after last year. |
