Wish I could post pictures on here. I would send pictures to see if anyone knows of one like it. Maybe it is just the invention of the old butcher-farmer-jack of all trades who owned it. When he died, the family just wanted it out of the barn and of course, my hubby just had to have it. A local butcher looked at it in awe, and said we ought to put it on E-Bay but number one, my hubby NEVER sells anything and number two- who would want it? It was an awful job just transporting it the few miles to our house and then erecting it and placing the hugh rope pulleys.
My hubby processes at least one deer nearly every year as there are “sportmen” around here who hunt just for the pleasure of hunting and only want a few steaks and are willing to give the rest away if someone else does the dirty work. Yes, if the weather is cold we like to age the deer for several days in the barn, but the moose season was the first week in October and the butcher said many of the moose he processed suffered from improper handling in the heat.

This is what ticked me off about 0bama’s Executive Order I posted earlier. I have seen way more innovation and ideas brought to fruition in farm workshops than all the universities put together. I even worked on developing a few and offered suggestions on quite a few others.
Many of those ideas wound up having their credit claimed by Universities and patents taken out by the schools - when the original idea and prototype came from a garage or workshop and someones intuition. But they never seem to be credited and the patent process has been manipulated to favor the big corporate/university establishment...
Sorry, that is one of my pet peeves.
