This! Virtually all of our hog operation are high density farms. If that virus gets loose here it will cause massive losses.

I have about 60 pounds of bellies for making bacon in the freezer now. Not because of the viral threat, but because high quality bellies are hard enough to come by that it just makes sense to by them by the case when the opportunity arises. I just cut them into brining size pieces and vacuum pack them so that I always have bacon when I need more.
