Just read in the local paper all of the butcher shops around here, Alex, are going wide open and you can't get an animal in for months they're that far booked out. Lucky for me I have a half a hog getting done right now, but it was scheduled to be there six months ago. If I had more freezer space I'd love to get another porker and cut it up myself.  :happy1:

It would be a lot of big Gold Stars for Hunters, if the Tree huggers and granola folks saw them feeding the poor!   :clap: :Clap: :happy1:

Sad truth is the government wouldn't allow it because it's not inspected. I will never forget all the venison that was removed from the food shelf because some anti in North Dakota found a piece of lead in a package of meat.

I saw a "religious group" in Alexandria SD is selling hogs.  Skinned gutted and halved or quartered.  $75 a half.  You need to cut it up.  I would take one if they were closer.  Looks like it is about 50 miles west of Sioux Falls.

Heard someone did do a couple hundred hogs with a group effort at Kerkhoven. Trouble was they shot & butchered them in the street, ran the blood & other fluids into the storm sewer and there was no refrigeration. Rumor had it the sheriff's dept. wasn't amused with them discharging firearms in town. They get excited here in town too when there's the odd escapee from the locker plant they have to subdue. Happens.

Locker plant here is booked into January already last I knew. Telling my lamb customers to get their orders in so we can book them or they'll wind up with mutton. Have been hearing new freezers are also in tight supply. Locker plant owner was saying people were telling him they're backordered until July.

That'll learn ya fer not wearing gloves at the pump. Funny tho,  we head outta town last weekend trying to keep our stops at a minimum but the two places we had to hit neither had plexiglass up and no one were wearing masks. Come back to town and its a different story..

I see the meat processor in glenn's neighborhood was the lead story for WCCO tonight.  :rolleyes: Wonder :scratch: how many different translators are needed at that plant so they know what safety measures need to be followed. If it's anything like the 1 shut down in Iowa there was like a dozen different languages spoken in the workplace but the bulletin on the new safety protocols was only put out on english.  :bonk: :bs: :sad:

So all the meat processors have to stay shut down because nobody understands what needs to be done to re-open? :scratch: :rolleyes: I have to believe that the workforce at that plant is just like the rest of 'em in this country & 80-90 % of it looks nothing like any of us here.

Hard to believe but the Smithfield plant in Sioux Falls has 40 different languages spoken in their plant and I think English is the only language they used on their signs too.

Good.  I get it that bars, restaurants, ballparks and concerts are problem spots for infections contagious disease.  But to the extent that people still need to buy stuff, it never made logical sense to close em down. 

Close down the small shops so everyone could congregate at the large ones?  :confused:

:rotflmao: Yea go figure they'd be Stearns county bars. :rotflmao: but I heard that a bar down by Alba??? Never closed when this started.

I'm  still cautious about this and I do what I can within reason to help resist tfge possible spread, but I'm beginning to be more of a herd immunity believer.

I also seen in the paper today, that cold springs fire departments big FIREFEST windig was cancelled for this year. More like a Gleuk brewing company thing anyway. :doofus: :thumbs:

I'll be curious to see what Walz decides to change after extending his executive powers for another month. It's time to allow main st. in small town America to open up again under some guidelines. If it doesn't happen pretty soon there will be more and more outright defiance of his orders. That's OK. The ACLU will have enough prisoners cleared out of the jails by then so there'll be room!  :scratch:
