Lard DID U GUYS D BONE IT ? No this year we didnt ,depended on who we talked to about taking the  bone out so this year we are trying with bone in

A little warning since your starting curing: Rob and I started with two, three years ago and this what it's turned into

as long as it's some place cool ,should be good  I'd love to see how they cure them in Southern Italy where it's hot /warm all year ,but haven't found much info , tho

I'd put a fan on it now that you have it hanging for a couple days to help dry it more ,as long as tempature is 60 or less you're golden 

looking good!!!     And just a thought, since you did two ,let one cure another 6 months or longer and the flavor will be more intense.  I've been doing these with a friend and I do three a year so I have them staggered out at cures of 1 year, 16 months and 2 years   You'll be glad you did
