Clansman another    for me too for your very interesting post - although I do not have pigs, I have lambs to go and would much rather they had the opportunity to pop their cloggs in the paddock at their trough than off to the abattoir the night before - all that time and uncertainty can not be good for them.


But I don't have the ability to kill them - would worry and worry about it and they'd still be here a year later!! As you say butchering I could do so if there was mobile man/woman it would be fantastic.

Yep, thats it exactly.

I know a few farmer wives that wouldn't harm a fly but give them a sharp knife and drop half a pig on the kitchen table and they are in their element!
