Around here even the local growers are booking slots for butchering in oct/nov 2023…. Just unreal. We do our own hogs but after we get settled in née place a walk in cooler is in our future. Have all the tools just need my own space. Wife even told me she was glad I booked a bison hunt this fall.. 🥴 almost thought it was a trap. But after the grocery trip yesterday with her I see why she does it. Everything food related is “higher than giraffe puzzy” as grandpa used to say.
