Turning Farm-Raised Pork Fat Into Something Beautiful! 🧴🕯️

At L & S Livestock, we love finding new ways to create value-added products straight from what we raise here on our farm. Right now, we’re deep in the process of taking the raw fat from our USDA‑inspected processing facility and slowly transforming it into clean, beautiful lard—the key ingredient in our upcoming lotions and candles!

We thought it would be fun to share a peek behind the scenes at the long (but rewarding!) process:

✨ Step 1: Start With Quality Fat
After processing, we take the raw pork fat home from our USDA‑inspected facility. This ensures everything we use is handled safely, cleanly, and professionally from the very beginning.

✨ Step 2: Trim, Chop, and Prepare
The fat gets trimmed and cut into small pieces. This helps it melt evenly and prevents scorching—slow and steady is the name of the game.

✨ Step 3: The Slow Render
This is where the magic happens!
We heat the fat very slowly, allowing it to melt down into a pure, clean liquid. This process takes time—hours and hours—because low heat produces the best quality lard with the least odor and the smoothest texture.

✨ Step 4: Strain & Purify
Once everything has melted, the liquid lard is strained to remove any cracklings or solids. What’s left is clear, golden lard that will cool into a creamy white base perfect for skincare and candles.

✨ Step 5: Create Something New
From this point, we can turn our rendered lard into:
🧴 Nourishing lotions
🕯️ Long‑burning, clean candles
✨ And more value‑added products we’re excited to experiment with!

This entire process is slow, hands‑on, and incredibly rewarding. We’re learning each step as we go, and it’s been amazing to watch a simple ingredient from our own pigs become something completely new and useful for our customers.

Thank you for continuing to support our farm as we grow, try new things, and make the most of everything we produce here at L & S Livestock. We can’t wait to share the final products with you soon! 💛🐷

Something Fun Is Cooking at L & S Livestock! ✨🐷

Did you know that “value‑added products” are one of the coolest ways small farms like ours stretch creativity and make the most of what we raise?

Fun fact: Value‑added products are anything that takes a farm ingredient and turns it into something new — something with a little extra magic, time, or creativity added. Think jams, soaps, candles, lotions, baked goods… even handmade crafts! 💛

We’ve been working behind the scenes on some exciting new projects, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been learning and creating. Stay tuned — we’re adding something pretty special to the L & S Livestock lineup very soon! 👀🔥
