10/ Yeah, it's a great thing. HOWEVER, we eat bacon w breakfast, and now we've increased the number of pans from 1 to 2 or 3 (rack to raise it above pan?), & appliances from 1 to 2 Pragmatism, my man. We've got other stuff we need to do (barn chores...) https://twitter.com/TonkaSly/status/1047196795133149185 …

Micah Odor @micahodorReplying to @MorlockPI don't want to tell you how to do your business, since you're clearly good at it. But sometime if you're bored, try splitting a shoulder ("Boston Butt") into two slabs and then doing the rest of your process. Shoulder bacon (ie "Buckboard Bacon") is delicious but much meatier.2 replies 0 retweets 7 likesShow this thread -

20/ You can lower your labor and raise your cost by using a butcher. You can increase your labor and lower your cost by collecting free food (e.g. stale bread) I've got a chapter on the economics of this in the chapter of my (not yet finished) farming book (est pub date 2020)

I think one of the things though that !its people do not understand at all is that when you raise/grow your own, you have complete control over what the animals do and do not eat, hormones, antibiotics and healthy living conditions.

If people truly knew the terrible shit that the animals went through and lived likegetting to their table, most would never touch the deliciousness that is meat again.
