Fall and winter preps

[encorehunter]

We are hanging it for 12 days. We kept the heart and tongue for us to eat. I don't want to eat the liver, so it may go to the dogs. I took the rest of the guts and dumped them in a gulley. I fed some to the pigs before, but the wold not eat the stomach and intestines and they stunk up the pen for a few days before I took them and dumped them. I figure 10 lbs of stew to start, then I will cut up round steaks if we need more.
Once we figure out how full the freezers are, we will work on processing another pig.

Everytime we do ours the pigs almost fight over the intestines. We dump the bones by the chickens for a day or two and they almost strip the bones clean.

The Association of Major Home Appliance Manufacturers, which tracks the domestic shipment of appliances, found that 227,000 freezers were shipped in the month of June — a 41.3% increase from the number shipped at the same time last year. Roughly 163,000 of those were chest-style freezers, an 87.1% increase of such freezers sold in June 2019.

I can believe that! I've been waiting for our freezer for four months.

Sounds like Whirlpool stock might be a good investment.

Received this the other day. It sure goes a long way to making jelly.

I bought Pomona's pectin from Amazon. It's awesome.

Interesting. Now I need to order a pound of that and see what it turns out like. My brother is diabetic and could use low sugar. I don't like eating super sweet things, so I should enjoy it as well. Thank you.
