I remember my Dad saying when they butchered a hog they would cut it up and pack it in salt. Would put the 1/2 half in barrel then the tail , the other 1/2 on top. When my grandmother got to the tail she knew they were 1/2 done the hog. She would tell my grandfather and he would pick out the next hig they would butcher and start to fatten it up and take extra care of it.
