I appreciate all the work they do but Jack is definitely a dull boy now.

I looked at my Oster meat grinder and it was made in the USA. I still have the original box and attachments it came with. Took out 52 pounds of pork to thaw last night, going to make stuffed sausage today, DH will smoke it tomorrow.

I'm having the same feeling atm.
I've been looking around to see if I can find tubes for it....so far no luck unless I buy another of the same grinder off ebay for like $40. Mine had no box but it did have the manual, wrench, coarse and fine blade, pusher, auger, blade, and shoot.

Try LEM products. They have a big catalog for meat working products, grinders, dehydrators, smokers etc. Don't know if they can help you or not. I don't have a grinder so don't know.

We got 2" of snow last night 
It will melt but still sucks.
So we went to put the sows in with the boar and it looks like Sara is very far along in gestation. We didnt think she got bred in the pasture since she was only in pasture with the boar from July 7th to about July 21st but looks like she took. So looking at piglets between today and Nov 12th. It's not good because it is very off market but does mean we can sell near butcher ready mid-march and they will not be exposed to the super cold weather...though it was 29F last night. Thats a far cry from the about 90F fresh piglets like.
Side note....new farrow stalls have not been build yet and piglet heat has not been set up
Been raining almost none stop for 3 weeks now which is making things about impossible with the temps only in the 30-40s for the day time.

Sure don't envy you the snow..... don't want any here for at least another month....Maybe only Christmas......
We are due to warm up a little.... winds to die down today, cold temps for here, 20's at night, but back up to the 50's and 60's by next week. Maybe we will see some "FALL" weather... for at least a week?????? We did get 1.8 inches rain even with the wind.... couple thousand people out of power from down trees/wires..... at least our drought conditions are over but we won't get much fall growth at this late date.
