Bird Seed Cake with Lard

BOTL Farm

1 Package | 8 oz = $4.70 + $0.00 Assembly

Birdseed cakes made from suet may be more familiar to many, and that’s a result of a few things. We suspect it’s partly because in the US people raise lots of cows in horrible feedlots and feed them inappropriate feedstuff like corn and soy. The cows have lots of fat around their kidneys which is known as suet. Suet is not generally used for human consumption, so a way to get people to buy it is to mix it with birdseed to make bird feed. Also, suet has an unusually high melting point temperature for a solid fat, which means that the suet birdseed cakes will stay mostly solid in most temperatures.

Since we don’t raise cows, we decided to make birdseed cakes with lard from our pigs. The cakes are delightful, but lard has a much lower melting point than suet, so our lard birdseed cakes should only be used in cooler months.
