Smoking Fanatic
Dont quote me on this, I'm just guessin, but it looks to me that these numbers represent the size of the belly in lbs. 9 to 11 lb 13 to 15lb etc.....Holy pig that would make a lot of bacon! I contacted the Swift meat company yesterday for pork bellies. Told them I would be making it at home and what not, here is the email I received...
Our minimum del quantity is 40,000 lbs . I make 9/11-11/13 13/15 & 15/17 skinless bellies.
These are all formula priced and the prices change as the bellies and the credit items prices change.
Example right now the 9/11 11/13 & 13/15 skinless bellies are priced at 1.4500 fob the plants.
Did I read that right or maybe it was a typo? 40,000 lbs of bellies?! Now my next question...the 9/11 13/15 and all that. Is that a ratio of meat to fat or something? and what would be the ideal one to look for? Thanks for the help!
