I asked Cliff for his Cider Mill recipe and w/o hesitation it was in my PM. There were two measurements, one for up to 12lbs and one for 7lbs. Once I trimmed the belly it weighed real close to 9bs, so I took the 12lb one and quartered it as close as I could.
This is my third belly and trimming that skin off is not easy. You got to admire guys like Cliff, Tenpoint and others that make it look so easy.

Good price on the belly

I already put them in a boiling pot of water for 30 minutes and in the fridge getting dry. I am going to try using TBE to make them to keep the smell out of the house.
