Re Store bought or at the butcher bacon: A decent number of stores and butchers in the area have little or no bacon in the case. What’s going on in that world?

Jonathon Some what. The big plants are experiencing labor shortages still so they are cutting corners. Normally we would buy combos of skinless hams to cure for the holidays but this year we had to buy skin on. So we skinned 3 combos (pallets) of Hams this year. Bellies where (at my last check) available in small boxes but you could buy whole combos. Pork ears are being thrown away because they don’t have the labor to box them. Everything else I have not noticed issues…

Cabelas90 Thanks for the feedback. So, it must be a “supplier” and manpower shortage for some areas of the country. We will survive this darn C19 schtuff.

@cabellas90 Thank you for the update! For anyone who doesn’t know what a combo is it is (not the delicious pretzel filled treat) the dimensions for a combo liner are 54" x 44" x 96" so imagine that filled with just bellies!

Jonathon Thanks again for the education on “Combos”. Now, that’s a lot of ham and bellies. Yikes!!!

zbigjeff Thats what it would seem. Used to be you could buy boxes of hams (2 per box) and boxes of bellies (3-4 per box) which is what the little mom and pop shops need for fill in when they cant kill a whole animal. Hopefully it gets back to that…
