[QUOTE="vclavin, post: 721017, member: 13613"] Thanks for the info. I haven't found a USDA place yet. Vacuum pkg would be real nice for customers as they can see what they are getting besides the extended expiration date. The butcher comes to the farm to kill and then takes the sides back with him. I get to see the marbling when he splits the carcass and I'm anxious to see how much backfat and internal fat when he removes the hide. They wrap the meat in a plastic and then in freezer wrap. It works pretty well and so far no freezer burn after 2 years. Try to eat it within 1 year but find a piece hiding every now and then. lol I forgot to ask how old they are - approx - when you butcher. Our are usually about 1 1/2 years give or take. I feed enough to gain around 3lbs a day too, enough to grow but not enought o get fat and hurt legs/feet. About 15 to 20lbs of that high fiber feed a day - split morning and evening - and all the hay they want. They are usually up to 10-15lbs a day when we wean. They then bawl for momma with a mouthful of feed. It's hilarious to watch them, not sure if they really miss mom or the bawling between mouthfulls is for her benefit. Usually afer 3 days all is well again. Thanks again Blessings Valerie Clavin [/QUOTE]
