Grill is firing up now. Gonna do this one overnight.
junior fair auction was today. My folks knew I was interested in a pig but had chosen not to buy one there this year. Financially it just wasn't he right time. Kids were getting 2.75-3.00 a pound and then it's another buck or so a pound to process plus a kill fee. They pick up a blue ribbon 256lb Duroc that was bred by friends of ours that have been at it for years. Lots of booster groups buy animals and donate them back to various charities. They set a price per pound for animals on the resale board and you can get a decent deal. Some get sold straight to packer, but most are donated to scholarship funds or support funds. Packer price was .60/lb. resale board they paid 1.40/lb. I've been tasked with deciding how we want it cut, and apparently it's going to be "stored" in my freezer.
