This document provides a summary of bacon production in western Iowa. It discusses the history of hog farming in Iowa, noting that as of 2013 there were over 20 million hogs in the state. The document outlines the different meat cuts that come from pigs, including bacon, and discusses the traditional curing recipes and methods used to produce bacon. It also profiles some of the local lockers and meat markets in western Iowa that cure and sell bacon from the large number of hogs raised in the region.
Boer Goats
Boer goats originated in South Africa and are raised for meat production. They typically have a brown head and white body, though some have splotches of white, black, or brown. When shown, judges look for Boer goats with long loins that are muscular but not overly so. Goat meat is becoming more popular in the US, and as demand rises, the population of Boer goats is increasing to meet need.

The problem of beef eating
Three Buddhist groups in Sri Lanka emerged to protest against cattle slaughter and beef eating, engaging in peaceful marches and sit-ins that later turned violent. Their campaigns raised awareness of the suffering of animals during slaughter and reduced beef consumption. However, banning cattle slaughter entirely could have negative implications, as the cattle population would grow unsustainably without a way to control numbers. More humane cattle management and slaughter methods are needed.

The great outdoors and hunting – a passion
Hunting has been an important part of human existence throughout history, originally as a means of sustenance but now often pursued as a sport and recreation. While some argue uncontrolled hunting endangers species, populations of animals like deer and elk have remained large despite long-term hunting because they reproduce quickly. Smith Rancho, a 50,000 acre property in Colorado, is renowned for its deer, elk, and antelope populations and hunting opportunities, with high success rates, accommodations, and animal numbers that have doubled in recent decades despite ongoing hunting activities.
Culinary use of pork bacon
Crisp fried bacon is a popular culinary use of pork that comes from slabs of pork belly. The fat in the belly gives bacon its sweet flavor and allows it to crisp up while the fat melts away. Bacon is made by curing pork belly with salt and nitrites, then smoking it. In the US, bacon is commonly sold in thin, regular, or thick slices and can be cooked several ways including pan-frying, broiling, baking, or microwaving. Bacon is used as a cooking ingredient to add moisture and flavor to dishes.
Ka Flour Talk
King Arthur Flour is milled in the United States where wheat production has increased dramatically since 1866. Wheat yields per acre have risen from 11 bushels in 1866 to over 43 bushels in 2008 due to improvements in farming techniques. King Arthur Flour mills over 41 billion pounds of flour annually based on average American flour consumption of 138 pounds per person.
Leonard Gotshalk Continues the Tradition of Angus Cattle Breeding
Leonard Gotshalk owned Gotshalk Rainbow Ranch, a Black Angus cattle operation in Lakeport, California. He served as a director of the Western States Angus Association under the American Angus Association. The American Angus Association was established in 1883 by 60 members and is now the largest beef breed registry worldwide. It started when Angus cattle were imported from Scotland to the US and crossbred with Texas Longhorn cows, creating a hardier breed suited for American conditions. Today, Angus beef is a popular brand known for its quality as food.
