That’s a good idea, too. I’ll consider that when all my bacon fat is used up. I used to see it in the grocery store on a regular basis, but maybe people don’t know what to use it for now days? *SHRUG*
They love the solid beef suet. It will hang about 4 feet from our slider and even the pileateds will come and drill the heck out of it. But I would check with a local butcher for a decent price. A long 10 pound chunk is at least 2 foot long and solid. Someone last winter was saying in the stores it is pretty expensive. The slab idea works really well. Anything they sell in the store will be in chunks and the birds will just fish out a hunk and fly away.
