wrapped in plastic

We are awaiting our first slaughtered hog's cuts from the butcher.  He said he was interested to see this new breed and wants to our feedback on the taste.  American Mule Footed Hogs are premium ham hogs.  We'll see if that is true.  At the request of some locals we secured a stall at the county fair so others can view this rare breed.  I never thought that I'd be taking livestock to a county fair.  Rural life has brought changes and has made me to get to know myself more.  Those stories might come later.

This picture maybe a little gross for some, but this is how we omnivores get our food. We are just used to seeing it wrapped in plastic at the grocery store. I didn't know I was in that category, but a few experiences on this wee-farm has showed me that I am.  Maybe that will wear off with time. Dan took this picture. I knew if I was going to eat this ham I couldn't watch. I needed it to magically appear in my freezer wrapped in plastic for my liking.
