13 pork butts…..

…..boned and cubed this afternoon. None was under nine pounds. I’ll be starting a sausage marathon next week and needed to get this little task out of the way. These were all Hormel butts and in the end I had maybe a pound of discard. $.99/pound at Hy Vee locally a week or so ago. I cut some beautiful steaks out of a couple of the butts too.

The bones I’ll roast then add water to the roaster and bones and simmer for pork stock…..most probably for gravy. I love pork gravy.

That’s a lot of meat!

Nice Tom , I cut up and ground 70# yesterday to mix with venison . Today I stuffed 50 # summer sausage with pepper jack cheese , and 25# of snack sticks with cheddar . The remainder will be made into breakfast sausage . I didn’t find as good of deal as you , paid 1.42.
