My band saw blade snapped mid-rib on a whole hog order Friday

Had to finish the breakdown with a hand saw, but we still got it boxed and iced before the pickup. Anyone got a good source for heavier gauge blades that can handle frozen product better?

Read about using bimetal blades for frozen stuff?

Oh man, that brings back a memory. I tried using a cheap saw blade on some frozen ground once, for a weird backyard project. It shattered into three pieces on the first push, scared the life out of me. Made me really respect how cold changes what stuff can handle. I stick to letting things thaw in the fridge now, way less exciting but my tools last longer.
