Here’s a small batch of bacon slabs I started today. Pigs were cut on Thursday 1/9 and slaughtered on 12/31. After the curing is done they will be cooked/smoked, cooled and then sliced. Cooking will happen on Monday 1/13 and slicing the next day. Pics showing my cure mixture dry and then mixed ready for pumping. After injection and covered in the brine. Pigs hanging in the cooler are the next small batch for next week.

Unfortunately I can’t sell the meat. My plant is labeled USDA Custom Exempt which means we have to follow all the govt. policies but don’t have an inspector on sight which keeps us from selling any meat product. I have family involved in the business and I’m the only one that wants to get the USDA inspection so I’m at a stand still with expansion….🤬

I don't know the financial side of it. But one of our local shops used to just to custom processing. A number of years ago they started selling meat to local restaurants and some stores. They have expanded that to having a pickup with a big gooseneck that runs all over the country to feedlots picking up railers almost daily. And a fair size freezer van box truck to deliver meat all over.
