[TheForge] OT- Wisconsin help needed.

[Dann]

Saint Phlip,

The local USDA / University County Extension Office should still have 
pamphlets on how to butcher,     Web search would probably yield  some "how 
to" as well.

First pig that I  personally slaughtered was probably my last.  That was 
more than  15 years ago, and  my  kids saw it being done and wouldn't touch 
a bite.   I think that that if one has a real hunger : empty belly for 
motivation ,  or grew up butchering as a child, so that it is a normal part 
of life it would be different.

I  have also butchered out a couple goats and  a half dozen deer, but I 
have to say that for us,  even with my own home raised hog...  having the 
meat processed by my local butcher, subjectively   makes it taste so much 
better.
