For many years, back in the day when I simply could not afford to drop my game off at a processor, I learned to do the processing at home. As a youngster, I watched my dad butcher hogs every winter and learned the basics skills necessary to transform game into ‘meat’ ready for the freezer. My duty was to haul water for scalding the hogs before scraping and do the ‘grunt’ work. As a young boy I didn’t relish hog killing day but looking back I did learn the skills that would later serve me well.
