Woodtick Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Couldn’t they give them to the gay guys that own tigers. The tigers could eat them. They could also put them on rail and send them to Mexico. Carnitas for months. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the math Ezra: U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley said Tuesday he's heard estimates that the country has about 100,000 pigs that should be slaughtered each day but aren't. "Apply that over 10 days, and with a million pigs, you’ve got a big problem," the Iowa Republican said in a call with reporters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just the beginning. This contraction will be mind numbing. We must polish our plan for reopening to at least slow the hemorrhaging of our economy. The only way out of this is to push forward on a limited scale with specific restrictions for social and environmental distancing. Our nations cant afford to just hunker down and wait it out.

hayward Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Can't be many independant pork producers around anymore. Here in the east, they're all commercially raising for companys like Hatfield. Max capacity at all times for max production. This isn't small time farmers anymore that could overcome and adapt to a problem like this a lot easier with having less animals on hand at a given time. No no, we had to weed those out of existance. We need our food supply controlled in a corporate existance only! MORE MORE MORE CAPACITY! And to hell with the small butcher shops as well. We'll hire govt. inspectors to make it so hard to exist, that eventually, THEY WON'T! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted this weeks ago. A very good friend and neighbor manages the farrowing operations of a large family hog farm in southern Iowa/Northern, Mo. They have a contract with Tyson for 23-26,000 hogs a week. Texted him last night and as of yesterday they had 23,000 that were past delivery. Some really tough choices coming up. People laughed when I said the NG/Military might need to be called in to keep some of these plants running. Its not so funny now nor will be when meat prices rise 1-2-3000% on the meat you are lucky to find. Talked to another local guy at a convience store who is the mayor of a small town near me. Local farmers are willing to sell fat hogs to anyone who will take them for $50.00 a head. Beyond the obvious health issue the food supply chain is the next biggest issue and is about to get much, much worse.

Zambroski Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Seems to me that this might be another great opportunity for America’s world defending, do-gooders to step up and help out their world’s people. $1200/person donated times millions to have theses hogs killed/gutted/frozen/packed and shipped out to needy nations. But what can they do for their Muslim pets? Oh well. Oh, letting them loose? Holy shit. That would destroy the entire landscape and food chain that comes with it. Bad idea. Also, apparently, being in the slaughter business is highly receptive to the COVIDs. Hmmm.... The idea of brining in the military (well, National guard) to do this work is hilarious but, so is the National guard to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably so but at least it’ll give the MSM’s something to report on other than 24/7 Corona. I could also see a spin off Netflix series where EZ opens up Big Pig Rescue, working title “Pig King”. Perhaps there could be a rival outfit headed up by @Wildboer? Edited April 23, 2020 by XC.Morrison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not that difficult dude for most of the positions. They are assembly lines that do a few specific cuts or trims. Its not like one person is butchering the whole animal themselves. You can learn to butcher a whole deer in a hour or two. Edited April 23, 2020 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not really the difficulty factor. I see the NG “deserting” by the thousands of they were tasked to do this. And I’d support them doing so. Our government using our military as they see fit in any situation is retarded. But, then again, so are most that join the National guard. Fuck...maybe they’d like it?

All the local subs are are going non-stop. The judicial system is at a stand still. No cases are are being heard and some services like drug court are held remotely. Some of the weirdest shit is happening according to a cop friend. Some people are losing all common sense. Part of it is a loss of routine. People don’t know how to live and begin doing stupid shit.
