We used to boil the pigs before scraping the hair off, but they were dead.

We just put them in a "scalding trough" and poured boiling water over them before setting to work with the scrapers.

We had an old cast iron bath tub behind the barn.

You filled it with water nd built a fire under it, get it rolling.

One person would get on each leg and we dunk em in to scald em, then you process them.

But they are dead when they go in.
