Yeah it is, all 55k plus pounds worth. Get to change the tracks out come spring with various other maintenance needed. Top of my pole barn is 24' in the center.

Me too. Hey, lard was used to preserve in years back! Mine was heat sealed in mason jars when rendered.

When you say "heat sealed" does that mean that from rendering, it is poured hot, into the jars : )

Yes, it was boiling hot, basically. Tight lids. I've never had an issue with lard, this way. You have to have the jars heated to add this hot liquid. I heat, add a cup or so of the lard in each to start and that increases the glass temp. Continue to fill them, lid them, cool out of any wind. Takes a few hrs to cool. Goes from clear liquid to white solid lard.
