Freezers full for summer

Started out yesterday with 2 whole hogs . Here is one half hanging since Monday. Glad we had the cooler weather return.

All in all we made about 85 lbs of sausage between all the different varieties, as well as many shoulders and loins in the freezer.

Sorry about the variation in picture sizes, only my second time posting pics on here.

We actually try to empty our freezer to get room for a hog. Im super impressed by the 85lb sausage run! They look great.

Thanks for all the comments guys. A year ago we bought a new (to us)grinder. It was an old one from a grocery store. What used to take us longer to grind than to cut up the pig, now only takes about 10 mins to grind 100lbs. Much easier now.

My wife tends to disagree, however she knows I enjoy it, and we need to eat so she puts up with it. She was a little concerned about what I would do with the head after I showed her Jeff's post from last week.

Looks Fun Dave. Me and the In-Laws do that every Fall. This year we were in the meat house for a solid weak with 3 beefs and 8 hogs.
