Find Out What's In A Half Hog

6/5/2017

I get it...you know, the frustration. You're starting to notice a difference in yourself and your family - the way they feel - their energy and strong immune system. So now your ready to start buying some of the foods that are bringing about that change, in bulk.

But, then comes the frustrating part...Where do I start? How much freezer space will I need? What cuts of meat should I get?

Well, we understand that feeling and after getting some of these very questions, we decided to make a video for you that shows just what you can anticipate from a half hog. Of coarse, it can be slightly different depending on what cuts you choose. We provide you with a cut list and the butcher will take you through each section step by step, answering any questions you may have.

Notes: Live weight of whole hog -250 lbs. 90 lbs. hanging weight on each half. 65 lbs yield weight on each half.

~A few other options~

~ If you're interested in making lard or soap, be sure and let the butcher know that you would like him to save that for you!
~ Organ meats are available with your bulk meats also.
~Interested in something not mentioned here - just ask.😊

We know you will enjoy your pastured meats as much as we do!

I just have to contact you about this morning's breakfast. I greatly enjoyed a plate of 7U eggs and Walnut Grove pork sausage. It was the most flavorful breakfast I can remember having. The eggs with their dark yokes and the wonderfully seasoned sausage were a pleasant way to begin my day. Added to that, knowing it was a healthy meal added icing to the cake. Thank you for the food products you make available.

    I set up all the bookings, here on the ranch at the Barn Cabin.  We've made a lot of changes here on the ranch, as our kids are now grown and things have changed a lot for us.  

    Keep watching, as we add some new things back into our ranch offerings, including antler carvings- something I took a break from, but am going to be offering soon. 

    I'll keep things posted here on the blog for you as we add new things!
