The tags will read: pork chops, ribs, tenderloin, sausage, etc. Our resident freezer-hogs stuck their nosey snouts where they had no business once too often and therein met their ultimate ends. So if having pork on January 1 brings good luck, it should be a fantastic 1977! developments in dairy management.
