Oh I could do it no question
But I will not likely do it in the foreseeable future
I may do a 50 lb goat

excellent job bay, you and dh worked your backsides off. we picked up penny the pig from the butchers today. she was 265# dressed weight. for kill, skin, cut and wrap the total was $142.50. my portion was half of that. $71.25 was not bad for 133 # of meat. easier to pay them then try to do it all myself. I always chill and grind my fat before I render it. smaller pieces take less time. I hope you saved all the cracklies in the bottom of the pan after the lard was rendered, sooo good in corn bread.

I cooked one of those stuffed sausages tonight.

We sliced it in half and put it on a bun with home grown onion and home made pickles. It was fantastic! Best smoked sausage ever! I ate two!!

It looks and sounds like you got a bit of rest. That sandwich made me hungry.

Yeah, today was a day of rest. We kept the 3 grand daughters, 10, 2 and 9 months so our daughter and son in law could get packed up for a trip to Missouri. It was nice to just stay inside under the AC, play with the kids and not attacking a major project.

@OneFineAcre we buy rib eyes and hamburger on sale. Right now our freezer is packed to the top. I got to thinking about it and we have (our) lamb, beef, (our) chicken, (our) duck, (our) pork and domestic rabbit.

bay, you always have that little knack of making my hungry. that sausage looks so good. years and years ago I had some friends that were fresh off the boat Italians and every fall we would butcher a hog and two wethers. they took the goats and part of the pork home with them, ground it up, seasoned it, stuffed it and smoked it with apple wood. they would never tell me all the spices they used, said it was their family secret. what ever it was they used it was the best stuff you ever wrapped your lips around. I've never been able to duplicate the flavor.
