My father always had two pigs in a pen at the end of our property. There was a big board across the top of the pen and I would get on that board, sit down, and watch the pigs. When cold weather got there, he and one or two other men would kill the pigs and hang them up and dress them. I was never allowed to watch them kill the pigs or dress them.
He had a smoke house where the meat was kept. My mother made sausage and my job was to push the meat into the hand sausage grinder.
We had bacon every day for breakfast and pork products all the time. I'm glad you got that pig. Will you do sausage, will you slice it for bacon? I guess the question is, how will you process it?
I’d say you’ll be set for quite a while. How are you planning on preserving it?
Are you going to make some sausage?
