Showing the live pigs



Showing the bullet shot behind the ear into the brain.


Showing where i stickered the pig to slice the heart artery


Showing the pig going into the scalding barrel


Showing the sternum being broken


Showing the head being cut off.


Showing the organs( this includes liver, heart, kidney, spleen) i would like to eat on the top, and the rest which will go to the chickens, on the bottom.

It is a privilege to live, work and play in the traditional territory of the Salish People.

Edge case submission
So I have butchered 4 hogs this year.  I use a scald and scrape method.  I prefer it over skinning, which I've also done, and have attached pictures.  I do my own butchering, packaging, and curing.  I invite anyone who wants to come and learn or just watch.  On the first pig, we saved the blood for sausage.  I had a bigger crowd come and help for my 2nd butcher, which was my largest boar.  We used a .22 to the brain and a knife stick to expel the blood on each pig.
