Baymule's Feeder Pigs 2017

That is nice you set such a good example. Even when I buy meat at the butcher store and repack it, I clean everything in between packages including my hands...people just don't get that stuff..

Wow!!! I feel like such a wimp now. I can butcher out a buck pretty well but man all that pork meat looks absolutely delicious. I need to learn - I guess there is no better time to start learning than right now re-reading though this thread.

It's hard to process your own pigs, the first few times, after watching them grow up and getting to know (and sometimes love) them. But the home grown meat is so superior to the stuff you buy at the butchers. And the feeling you get from sitting down at the table to a meal you grew and raised and processed yourself, turns even the most basic meal into a feast.

I have a feeling Miss Pork Chop is going to turn out to be the unexpected, unplanned start of you keeping (and processing) pigs for awhile to come now You just needed that little push to get you going!

I hung a rabbit upside down, stroked it's ears forward to calm them. Then I hit them hard right behind the ears with a hammer handle. As I did more, I just karate chopped with my hand in the same spot, breaking their neck.

Is this the same kind of hogs you raised?

I doubt it. That looks like it could be a Duroc.
