How are you an expert?

Ya'll could do it @baymule! I've participated and it's not that much different than any other animal. Guts are pretty much all the same, lol!

Go Deb!

I've never tried making it... guess I could give it a go someday.

I want to cut pork chops, roast, and cure bacon. I have made sausage, both pan and stuffed. I just don't want a 300 pound pig all in sausage! LOL

 

[Denim Deb]

Nope, at least some of it HAS to be bacon!

 

[Wannabefree]

Yes to bacon! Always.

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Bacon isn't hard to do. I've done it. Ask me tomorrow! I'm about to do that 'lay in bed and close my eyes thing' soon!

Please start a thread! I'll join you! I'm familiar with the idea in theory but am interested in putting more into practice!

@tortoise , I made a thread in Miscellaneous under Conservation (and a few other words I already forgot. sigh) - Called it Permaculture, Regrarian, etc. I think.

 

[tortoise]

Thank you @freemotion! I'm going to try again!

I can't believe I just saw Freemotion and WannabeFree on here! Hi, ladies!!!!! Freemo, I'm doing BTE too!

I'm not an expert at anything that I can think of right off hand...maybe being a student? Nah....I'm not even good at that, but I keep doing it all the same. I'm a student of life, I guess you would say. A sponge.

I love learning on a wide range of things, I love DIY things, I love being frugal and making do on little and repurposing things. I've raised chickens about 40 yrs, so I've picked up a few things about them but am most decidedly still learning new things on them every day, which I think is one of their charms...always something to learn there. Will NEVER consider myself an expert on that, though.

Good to see some past members with MUCH to share coming back to do so....I'm eager to sponge up the knowledge flow.

@baymule I will try to take pictures when we process the next pig. We don't do all the cuts though, we tend to eat a fair amount of ground pork and sausage. I'll show what we do though. Won't be too long before we butcher again I don't think.
