Bison part 2

Above is the bison after 6 days in a salt and herb cure. I returned him to his ziploc bag in the fridge after taking the picture to show you. Around March 18 we'll hang him in the basement to dry.

Above is the roast after the "trimming", before the start of the salt cure. It's actually really quite small. I confess we don't have a kitchen scale, but my guess is that we (accidentally) trimmed it down to about 1.5 pounds, probably less. We have high hopes for this little guy!
