Just got back from the daughter's house.  Her hubby left this at 0400 today for Florida - 18 hour drive at a fast pace, and they are currently on pace for about 16 hours.  she flies down tomorrow.  The reason he drove, along with a friend who also has a home down there, is that if you fly you can't golf at the country club for 14 days.

Back to the meal, she made her mother almond flour and almond crust chicken thigh, pecan and bacon brussels sprouts, and corn, and chocolate chip sugar cookies for desert.  Damn! Someone taught that kid how to cook!

My younger son and I smoked 150 chicken quarters and 125 3/4" thick pork chops Saturday far a close friend's family get-together.
We used our Young Farmers chapter's big Southern Pride Rotisserie smoker that has fifteen racks. It made the task a breeze.   8)

Wife and d-i-l made the sides: tater salad, baked beans, green beans, and mac-n-cheese.

Yeah, animal fat is rough on the thin papers....but it does burn much faster.  8)

Younger son cooked us a ribeye and tater on his Pit Boss grill. He went ahead and got 'em from our local meat market before prices went up five more bucks per pound tomorrow....IF they can get any in stock, that is.
Oh well, freezers are full of venison.

Sho was good, though.

                 Tuesday        65,000               24,000

Things are improving, but we are still about 25% down from a year ago.  When you look at kill numbers, it takes 36 to 48 hours to get the animal through the line for hogs, and it takes about another 12 to 24 beyond that for cattle.

Pricing???  Our buyers are going strictly Hand to Mouth.  The market is very high and very volatile.  We are seeing some price drops in beef due to the negative media and sympathy for farmers and ranchers.  However, the packers are still losing money over all.  We are seeing some pull back from our customers due to price, but they still seem to have large demand.  Some of that is because more and more are buying 100% from us, because their other suppliers can't get it.

Our facility is emptying fast.  We have a 40,000 ft2 freezer that was down to 500 pallet positions (22 loads) on Sunday.  On a good day, that could all be gone!  Our main facility freezer is a little less, and our fresh coolers don't have much more than a single day's supply.

We ship about a million pounds per day.  We did 1.6 on last Friday.  Today we will receive in about 1.2, but this is our first receiving day over a million in almost a week.  The outside carriers we book to help bring in and take out are so slow we are getting emails and phone calls all day looking for loads.

Bottom line:  Buy what you need or want when you can find and afford it.  Eat what is in your freezer.  Sharpen up on your marksmanship for squirrel, deer, etc.  If you are rural and know a feeder, buy a critter and pretend you just dropped it with your good old 30-30.

We have our own few head of cattle on the hoof and our own processing equipment....and our neighbor is a cattle rancher.....and if times get really hard, we have one old 'democrat' that keeps the coyotes and cats off the cows....meat might be tough, but it'll stave off starvation for a little while.  ;D ;D

Had some chips & salsa and enchiladas w/rice for supper.

First time since early March we went to a local dine-in restaurant. It was a new Mexican joint that had the misfortune of having their grand opening the weekend before the hysterical covid clamp-down. They were able to do some take-out business during the hoopla, but last week they were finally able to get back to limited dine-in serving. They have a big parking lot, so they improvised and put up six 10x10 pop-up tents with a table under each one for outside dining (also have three tables under the attached awning.

It wasn't the worst, but wasn't the best either..... I chalk it up to new restaurant growing pains and a very young staff. I'll give it a few months and try them again.

I went to the store yesterday wasn't buying meat, but checked. Prices on beef seemed normal, about half what they went to last month. Chicken was on sale but pork seemed high.
Just because I noticed gas was $1.85   ;D

The very last of the elk sausage.  I thought i ised it up a couple months back, but i found 2 frozen patties.

I can not wait to get the barn built so i can have a proper freezer.
