I won my ribbons for pies - I think largely due to my crusts - made with lard,

I grew up on a farm - where we raised the pigs - made the sausage, cured the bacon & hams and rendered the lard. - Well, my grammie & grampa did. don'y know's I'd care for the making sausage bit - ewwww

But I always use lard for pie crusts

Who did the the kill, scald and scrape, and gutting? I've seen a pig killing that was kinda bizarre. Made me laugh, though.
