DIY Red Pepper Flake

Agree!! Which is why we try so many strange things. 😁 oregano for chickens, comfrey, wild berries, and so on. It's about SS.

Like I really don't want to buy another pig...but I want my own fresh pork and the lard, bacon, etc. So I look. 🤪 almost hating myself the whole while! Mirror arguments abound!!

I paid $7/pound to get leaf fat from local pasture raised pig. Raising a couple pigs is starting to sound really good! I couldn't find lard in stores that didnt contain hydrogenated fat, BHT, BHQ 🤢

My pigs leaf fat is beautiful, white lard! Nothing added. Worth the time, for sure. I used the smaller AGH breed, like FEM does. They are considered lard hogs but I found mine to be perfect...enough but not overwhelming at all. A good ratio.

A neighbor sells feeder pigs. I should ask what breed they have.

I dont have pig-safe fence anywhere.

Absolutely agree... electric is the way to go! They respect it so much that sometimes it takes some real convincing to get them to come out!

No luck. The paper towel was getting moldy, so I tossed them.
