I was going to come looking for you - thought our pal Drew might be interested.. but this could be a bit too "farm" for him.<br />;-)<br /><br />And thanks for the well wishes... we were glad to find out we really could do it. Next stop.. a beef cow. A small one.

Reminds me of my sister, who is a veterinarian and routinely does incredibly gross things in her day-to-day life, and yet can't stand to wipe the little bits from the counter into her hand when she's cleaning up the kitchen.<br /><br />I'm impressed that you handled such huge animals. Just maneuvering them around to cut when they're dead must have been a workout. Two thumbs up to you and your fellow butcher.Kristin @ Going Countryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221544641416039741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-52966541056439405402010-12-13T08:10:42.193-05:002010-12-13T08:10:42.193-05:00Absolutely, VPak.

I'll bet it makes them feel very good inside. I hear that during those times, everyone would help everyone. Kind of make the rounds helping each other. What a good way of life!

Hog time was a big event and provided a wonderful time of community for everyone. <br /><br />Mr. H, I'm telling you for the money home hog raising and harvesting is the beez knees. We raise 'em up cheap and then laugh laugh laugh as we walk by the Honey Baked ham display at the store. Tell Rowdy I got a plate of trimmin's for him too. And one huge bone<br />;-)Ohiofarmgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606563929369721111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7789865586418282697.post-6467152708899653612010-12-12T11:08:32.401-05:002010-12-12T11:08:32.401-05:00Good job guys!
