For meat shortages go to local pig and chicken farmers buy live and butcher yourself hog only needs to hang at 4 c for a 24hours day till the the rigamotis comes out and you can butcher. Lots online hoe to butcher a hog.
You can get them cheap and maybe even a hand doing it at farm. Just skin them not worth trying to dehair with scalding a lot more work unless you are set up for it
Bring cheese cloth or clean linen to wrap as plastic garbage bag even for a few hours can cause bone rot to happen .
If you cut into pieces use a sawzall and a fine blade to reduce bone chips then put into fridge empty of other items so that the meat is surrounded by air (cookie drying racks) hams whole and bacon get a food safee bags and cure in bags in fridge.
Test cut and zip lock bag and dunk in water pail to get air out. Date it and you are off to races. 220 lb pig will give about 100 lb of finished meat.
