We try to fill ours with venison, rabbit, squirrel, dove, and fish that I harvest/catch/kill myself. And if realy lucky a wild hog and some duck. If I get to go huntging for them. Subsidize with other meat and vegies from the local grocerie stores.

we get our pork from 4H projects despite the never ending supply of wild ones.

Payne,take either one of those and cut it's tail off.I knew a guy that cut both of his pigs then his dad told him to cut the tail off one of them.That one grew a lot bigger than the other one.

fish twice a month, catfish, shellcrackers, and crappie are kept fresh. A deer or two, with a wild hog to help make some tasty sausage and couple of turkeys, love to grind my turkeys for turkey burgers.

Now if I had the space for garden.

or

Butcher a steer every fall, and then add venison steaks, wild hog (sausage/back straps), dove, pheasant and a couple redfish and sand bass trips. Only meat we every buy from the store is chicken or turkey.

X2 we only buy beef if we want to have a thick steak

I killed a buffalo cow in April of last year so we've been eating on that since. Also try to keep a good stock of venison. Get chicken from a good friend that has a fresh source.

Catch plenty of crappie, sand bass and catfish.

If I can ever see a hog on the deer lease, I'll have some pork in there too rather than store bought.

we always have venison, we put 8 deer, several hogs and some turkeys in our freezer last season. we fish when we can at the area lakes and have our pond about 100 yards behind the house and try to put up a calf a year. house of 4 along with friends and family help.

I kill does all season I usually wind up giving several away.

We get 1/2 hog, 1/2 cow & 20 whole fryers from the family farm in Iowa. Hope to fill in the holes with deer, wild hog and migrotory birds. Most fish I throw back

Is that like throwing a snake on the fence and it will rain philosophy?

I've been getting 5-600 pounds back from the two hogs for years.

A guy that lived close to Caddo Mills is the one that did it.I was there when he cut the pigs and his dad told him to cut the tail off.They were talking about it after he had done it and his dad said that one will grow bigger.I did see them later and one was growing faster than the other and I had forgotten about it until I saw this thread.I lost contact with him so I don't know the end results on those pigs but I will ask my son who knew him a lot better.What's it gonna hurt if you do cut one of them off and see for yourself ?.

Have some deer we get from both of our dads. Have plenty of birds after season. Keep a good supply of fish. Had to buy another freezer for the hog meat we got from my dad this year.

Crappie, and deer meat... A few other things mixed in through out the year.
