Being in the middle of the Pig Belt ours are even less than that. Can always get fresh ground sausage at butcher shop at a good price. Very little fat and nicely spiced. Their bacon is extremely lean. The family who owns butcher shop has a cousin who runs a commercial pig farm. Their grow one breed just for family, friends and the shop. Many buy a whole hog and have it prepared by the butcher. Really good deal if you have a large family.
I don’t think I could possibly have higher respect for our farmers. They are tops on my list!
