I've had lamb/mutton before... is that all the same thing?<br /><br />Gina - how many hogs did you all do in one day? This looks and sounds like the way it's done "up our way". Cute - referring to the old guys passing on the info and the younger generation handling it all on their own so well. Again. Sounds similar.<br /><br />~B Bevy @ Treasured Up and Ponderedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821971923515558110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-74147600853764683592012-12-26T07:59:13.850-05:002012-12-26T07:59:13.850-05:00Goodness!

I'm wondering as I look at your pictures and read your story if he'll even know how to stretch the hog the way you all have been taught. Really, whole hog butchery is a forgotten skill in and of itself. Makes me want to really do some research first. It's just fantastic that you all have learned it!

And so sad to hear about the 2 men who taught y'all so much. It does look like they taught y'all well. <br /><br />How many hogs did y'all butcher? And how many families split the meat?

We are actually butchering sheep this Friday evening ( they are currently hanging in the coolroom) ~ it's actually such a fun thing to do with friends I'm looking forward to it. I'm also thankful for a supply of meat as I have Dave's whole family coming for Christmas! I just need to get a freezer as our big one broke a few months ago ( it was old & second hand when we got it) ~ this has accelerated the need ~ guess that's going to be my Christmas present!<br />Have a wonderful Christmas<br />Blessings<br />Renata:)Renatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13546331512433403550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-2751493777339232282012-12-18T18:56:31.656-05:002012-12-18T18:56:31.656-05:00I love scrapple, but have never had homemade.
