    Anyone stockpiling pork products?

    Some vicious swine flu is decimating the pork populace in China and is moving through SE Asia. It's only a matter of time.

    Not from China or SE Asia. I've been known to freeze some pork but prefer something from the good old USA. Kids sell them at the fair if you really are picky. I cannot use a whole hog though.

    These guys are great. http://www.vogetmeats.com/ Some of the best pork products. Everything I have had is awesome. Can't beat a Voget ham for a special occasion. They'll do your custom processing too.

    Yup and as OD said if you go to market day at county fairs you can pick up a whole hog.

    I bought half of a Berkshire pig about a month ago. By far the most flavorful pork I’ve ever had. Don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to grocery store pork.

    no but I started stockpiling protein stocks
    The chinese had to cull so much of the herd that it equates to ~5% of the global supply of protein (if the chinese #'s reported are even credible)
    meat prices are going to rise

    I need to find a ranch around here where I can buy a pig (more likely a half pig).

    Right, but that's not the issue. It has necessitated massive destruction of infected pigs and China is a big consumer of pork so they will be looking outside their country to get their fix. Pork producers, at the expense of their country's needs, will stand to make a lot of money selling to Chinese desperate to get their pork fix.

    Dollars for donuts at least half of the regular gun thread followers have at least 100 pounds of canned spam in their bunkers. Heck, I keep some on hand, but not that much.
