Back on August 8th I wrote that "Pork bellies are down!" But now it appears that "pork bellies are gone!" - stolen - on the hoof. Farmers and sheriffs in Iowa and Minnesota are scratching their heads to explain the who and how of the missing pigs. One farmer lost 150 hogs and he lamented about the cost of the corn to fatten them up for six months. One sheriff said "It's difficult because they all look alike." A few have taken to use tattoos for identification. These thieves "aint your old wild west rustlers." A hog ready for market can weigh 270 lbs and it doesn't come when called so it has to be persuaded. The puzzle remains unsolved at this writing but it sure puts another slant on the phrase "bringing home the bacon." WOO PIG SOOIE!
