Ham and bacon day

[Backroadmeats]

We cut up 7 durocs from comparts on Wednesday. Fridays are usually ham and bacon slicing days for us.

Impressive. I can’t wait until I can make a trip up there.

Ya better wait a couple monthes!! You may find it a touch cold right now. I was thinking about when you said you wore a coat below 50 degrees the other day while my kids ran around the yard with no shoes on and only wearing a t-shirt at 43 degrees. If it was 50 they probably would have been in shorts!!

A little smoke and there you go.
That thin boning knife looks like it has had many a use.

[Backroadmeats]

Yeah. That thing has been around for a while.. still holds a good edge so it seems to always find its way to the cutting table!!

[Sweaty Paul]

Envious!

[Backroadmeats]

It is close to 500 lbs of hams and bacons most weeks. This one was 466 lbs. September and October I have 80 hogs on the schedule..

Great photos! Do you prefer butchering Durocs?

[Backroadmeats]

Thanks Skip . I have butchered all three breeds comparts have and all are fabulous! I won't sell a pig if it isn't a comparts pig. They have done the science behind the ph and other experience to say that the durocs is superior. Now from a knuckle dragger butcher point of view I just know that they are some good tasting pig!! Never any complaints and I can pick them up 20 minutes away and I can get any amount I want when I want. So yes if I have a choice I will get comparts duroc!!
